why did i wait so long? Lyrics

It took me a long time

To finally find the words

That i've been wanting to say to you

But the sun can only be appreciated by it's absence

I hope you know what i mean

The sun gleams ahead

Yet the flowers are dead

Missed out on love again

Tried and i tried

But i was so blind

Wish i had swallowed my pride

We were so young

And i was so reserved

Thought showing my feelings make you run

And now you've moved on

Without a word

Why did i wait so long

A year swam away

And i drifted to dismay

Piece by piece id break

And i just wish you knew

The love i have for you

Why did i wait so long

The sun gleams ahead

Yet the flowers are dead

Missed out on love again

Tried and i tried

But i was so blind

Wish i had swallowed my pride

Now i'm pushing ahead

Toward a prosperous chance

A chance - to avail a last

Life comes and goes

Let us not deter love

For love fulfills the soul

With you by my side

I could conquer and thrive

For you make me feel most alive

I thank you so much

For all i have learned

I'll do better my next run

The sun beams through you

And the world is anew

I cherish the times we shared

As we go separate ways

Your tattooed on my brain

I'll love you for the rest of my days

The sun beams through me

And the world is a dream

I've bloomed again at last

As I swallow my pride

Im right on time

The wait was worth the prize
