lyrics

You said that you would care for me
That you’d love me
That I was wanted

I hoped that you would look me in the eye
That you would recognize me
Where it counted

So I try my best to be patient
I know that someday soon it’s gonna come
In the meantime I am aging,
And I’m Asian (I thought that you should know)

I keep waiting
And waiting
And waiting
For an answer… x2

I’ve learned that sometimes people say things
That are partly bullshit
To feel inspired

I’ve spent a whole damn lifetime tryna fit in
Wishing you would put your money where your mouth is
Now I’m tired

I don’t wanna win by complaining
I shouldn’t have to - I thought I was enough
But all that I am saying
Is I’m still Asian (Yeah that’s still going on)

I’ve gone from angry to broken-hearted,
I wanna stop
Just like it is with my mother,
I’ll never be enough

It’ll never be enough

In the midst of all this waiting,
I’m out-pacing, leave you in the dust
So I’ll look you in the face and
Say I’m wasted waiting on your love

I’m through with waiting
And waiting
I’m not waiting
I’m moving on.

I’ll find my place in
The distance
I’m not holding
My breath for anyone
