How Long Do I Have To Wait by: Teilois ( AigaTasi )

[INTRO] Yeah… I know I hurt you. I know saying sorry can’t erase what I did. But I’m still here… Still fighting for us. So tell me, how long do I have to wait? [HOOK] How long do I have to wait till you forgive me? How many tears before you finally hear me? I know I did you wrong, I know I made mistakes, But I’m asking for a chance, not asking you to forget. Ou te fa’amalie atu, ua ou sese, I’m sorry for the pain that I gave you. Fa’amolemole, aua le tu’ua a’u, Please don’t leave me, I’m still loving you. How long do I have to wait? How long before my sorry reaches your heart? I know I broke your trust, But I’m trying to rebuild every part. [VERSE 1] I know I don’t deserve for you to trust me overnight, I know I caused the tears that kept you up at night. I can’t change the past, can’t erase what I did, But I can show you I’m not that same person again. I remember every argument, every tear on your face, Every time you needed me and I wasn’t in the right place. You gave me your heart, and I handled it wrong, Now I’m standing here hoping you still hear this song. Ou te iloa ua ou fa’atiga ia te oe, I know that I hurt you, and I carry that pain. Ou te salamo i mea uma na ou faia, I regret everything I did, again and again. I’m not asking you to forget, I’m asking you to watch me change. Let my actions speak louder Than every apology I say. [HOOK] How long do I have to wait till you forgive me? How many tears before you finally hear me? I know I did you wrong, I know I made mistakes, But I’m asking for a chance, not asking you to forget. Ou te fa’amalie atu, ua ou sese, I’m sorry for the pain that I gave you. Fa’amolemole, aua le tu’ua a’u, Please don’t leave me, I’m still loving you. How long do I have to wait? How long before my sorry reaches your heart? I know I broke your trust, But I’m trying to rebuild every part. [VERSE 2] I know healing doesn’t happen just because I say “sorry,” I know you got questions about our whole story. You wonder if I’ll change or go back to the same, And I understand why you don’t believe me today. If I could take the pain away, I swear that I would, Go back to every moment and change what I could. But time don’t move backwards, so all I can do Is wake up every morning and prove myself to you. Ou te alofa pea ia te oe, I still love you, even through the pain. E le mafai ona galo ia te a’u oe, I can’t forget you, no matter what changes. Se’i e tu’u mai se avanoa, Just give me one opportunity, To show you the person I promised I would be. [BRIDGE] I won’t rush your healing, I won’t demand your trust. If it takes time, I’ll give you time, Because I know I broke us. But if there’s still a little love Somewhere underneath the scars, I’ll spend every day proving I can be better than I was. [VERSE 3] I don’t want another person, I don’t want another life. I want to fix what I damaged, I want to make things right. You stood beside me through moments When you could’ve walked away, And now I’m asking for forgiveness For the choices that I made. Fa’amolemole, fa’amagalo mai a’u, Please forgive me, that’s all I can say. Ou te le toe faia lava, I promise I won’t do it again. But I know promises are easy, So I’ll prove it day by day. No more empty words, No more excuses or lies. I want you to see the change Not just hear it in my rhymes. [FINAL HOOK] How long do I have to wait till you forgive me? How long till you can finally believe me? I know I did you wrong, I know I caused the pain, But I’m willing to earn your trust again. Ou te fa’amalie atu, ua ou sese, I’m sorry for everything I put you through. Ou te alofa ia te oe, lo’u pele, I love you, my love, and I mean it too. How long do I have to wait? I’ll wait as long as you need. I won’t ask you to forget the past, Just let me show you what I can be. [OUTRO] I know sorry isn’t enough… So I’ll let my actions speak. Fa’amagalo mai a’u… Forgive me. I hurt you once… Now let me spend my time showing you I can love you right.
