ALTER BRIDGE
"What Are You Waiting For"

One more lie for gain
Deceptive and deranged
You tore down this good name
And now there's hell to pay

[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh, there you go again
The abuse is now the norm
Oh, still I hold it in
Level heads will win this war

[Chorus:]
What are you waiting for?
Tell it to my face
You're just a coward scorned
A bully on parade
Don't need this anymore
Your anger's so misplaced
So if you're waging war
I choose to disengage

Amused by your disguise
The virtue signal guise
The glimmer in your eye
Won't save you, not this time

[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh, there you go again
The abuse is now the norm

[Chorus:]
What are you waiting for?
Tell it to my face
You're just a coward scorned
A bully on parade
Don't need this anymore
Your anger's so misplaced
So if you're waging war
I choose to disengage

[Post-Chorus:]
What are you waiting for?
I choose to disengage
What are you waiting for?

[Bridge:]
Truth in time you will face
When you're old and so estranged
Alone, alone, alone
With no one left to blame but yourself
For every ghost you've betrayed
Of you I know they'd be ashamed
Atone, atone, atone
For all the ways you put us through hell
You alone and nobody else

[Interlude:]
Nobody else
And nobody else
And nobody else
And nobody else

[Chorus:]
What are you waiting for?
Tell it to my face
You're just a coward scorned
A bully on parade
Don't need this anymore
Your anger's so misplaced
So if you're waging war
I choose to disengage

[Post-Chorus:]
What are you waiting for?
I choose to disengage
What are you waiting for?
