I couldn't wait forever, did you expect me to?   I guess you thought I'd never find somebody new   I lived on dreams and promises as long as I could   I couldn't wait forever the way you thought I would      The lonely nights grew longer as I prayed for time to fly   I lived on hopes that you'd return, that's how I got by   The agony of loneliness just got too much for me   I couldn't wait forever, needing love so desperately      So I found new lips to kiss me, new arms to hold me tight   I found new love and happiness to fill my empty nights   You took my love for granted, now my heart has found a new home   I couldn't wait forever, forever's just too long      No, I couldn't wait forever, forever's just too long
