Don't Wait Up
by Evechon Music · Moody Synth-Pop
An empty street, one streetlight, and footsteps heading somewhere only you understand. "Don't Wait Up" is the moment you stop waiting on someone who liked knowing you were available more than they ever liked holding your hand.
Lyrics
Verse 1
You said you might come over
You said you’d let me know
I left the hallway light on
And watched the evening go
You always keep it open
Just enough to make me stay
You never give an answer
You just move it to another day
Pre-Chorus
I know that maybe
I know that tone
I know what it means
When you won’t say no
Chorus
Don’t wait up
That’s what you always say
So I won’t wait up
I’m done giving nights away
Don’t wait up
I finally understand
You like knowing I’m available
More than holding my hand
Don’t wait up
I won’t be here this time
Verse 2
You call me from the taxi
When your other plans fall through
You say you’ve been so busy
Like I haven’t been busy too
I used to call it patience
I used to call it trust
Now I know the difference
Between being loved and being kept around
Pre-Chorus
I know that maybe
I know that tone
I know what it means
When you won’t say no
Chorus
Don’t wait up
That’s what you always say
So I won’t wait up
I’m done giving nights away
Don’t wait up
I finally understand
You like knowing I’m available
More than holding my hand
Don’t wait up
I won’t be here this time
Bridge
No more checking every sound
No more keeping plans half-made
No more leaving room for someone
Who only comes when it’s convenient
You can take your time
You can make your choice
But you don’t get my silence
And you don’t get my night
Final Chorus
Don’t wait up
That’s what you always say
So I won’t wait up
I’m done giving nights away
Don’t wait up
I finally understand
You liked knowing I was available
More than who I am
Don’t wait up
I won’t be here this time
Outro
The hallway light is off
Don’t wait up
