The Novel Ideas - I'm Not Waiting Lyrics

If I start from the beginning I'll start from when I was a child
And how I grew up always thinking that love, it is measured in miles
'Cause my mother worked that hard so we could have a nice life
I'm just hoping that her blood runs in my veins tonight

'Cause oh I'm trying to let you go
But it feels right even if I should know that it won't
I've heard enough and I've seen so much
But I'm not waiting love

Well you know that it's backwards when you feel much more than you say
And I've been keeping my distance but I don't wanna push you away
I wouldn't say that I love you but I'm pretty sure that I did
And I wish I could say I'm surprised that I chose to walk right back to him

Cause oh I'm trying to let you go
But it feels right even if I should know that it won't
I've heard enough and I've seen so much
Now I'm staring at the future but my eyes they won't adjust
He'll stay the night but it's you I'm thinking of
And I'm not waiting love
