[Verse 1 (Marcel Römer, Amanda Somerville)]
Feeling this weight on my chest
Doing what you're told to, all they told you to do
Down on my knees, I feel the noose
Slowly tightening to me
[Verse 2 (Marcel Römer, Amanda Somerville)]
Digging my very own grave
Doing what you're told to, how they told you to do
Feels like a stranger's hand at my throat
Choking the breath out of me
[Pre-Chorus 1 (Marcel Römer, Marcel Römer & Amanda Somerville)]
Facing the mirror
I stare into the eyes of someone else
Now that I woke up
I know there is much more I can be
[Chorus (Marcel Römer & Amanda Somerville)]
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
[Verse 3 (Amanda Somerville, Marcel Römer)]
There is a dream inside of me
Are you waiting, what are waiting for?
A secret path is waiting for me
Somewhere far away in the distance
[Verse 4 (Amanda Somerville, Marcel Römer)]
Just one life left for me
Are you waiting, what are you waiting for?
Finding the road that I will have to go
[Chorus (Marcel Römer & Amanda Somerville)]
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
[Bridge (Marcel Römer, Amanda Somerville, Marcel Römer & Amanda Somerville)]
I'm lying to myself (stop lying)
Suppressing myself (stop hurting)
Hurting myself
Killing myself
Start trusting yourself (start trusting)
Believe in yourself
Stop hurting yourself (believe in yourself)
Stop killing yourself
[Post-Bridge (Marcel Römer)]
Tell me, what are you waiting for?
Tell me, what are you waiting for?
Tell me, what are you waiting for?
Are you waiting for?
[Chorus 2 (Amanda Somerville)]
So tell me now what are you waiting for?
Yeah, tell me what are you waiting for?
[Outro (Amanda Somerville)]
What is it your waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
