Three rings till voicemail, staring at the phone

Counting days on calendars, hoping I'm not alone

"Just give me time," he'd say, "Things will work out soon"

But promises kept fading like stars before the moon

I'm not waiting anymore

Got my keys, got my boots by the door

My heart's been patient long enough

Now I'm driving toward the rising sun

No more sitting by that silent phone

No more putting my life on hold

I'm not waiting, not waiting anymore

Woke up one Tuesday with a clarity so bright

Like someone flipped a switch and bathed my soul in light

Drew a line in the sand where I'd been standing still

Said goodbye to "maybe" and hello to "I will"

I'm not waiting anymore

Got my keys, got my boots by the door

My heart's been patient long enough

Now I'm driving toward the rising sun

No more sitting by that silent phone

No more putting my life on hold

I'm not waiting, not waiting anymore

There's nothing like the freedom when you finally let go

Of all those expectations that were never yours to own

And I'm not bitter, honey, just finally breathing free

The woman in the mirror finally looks like me

Windows down and radio up, hair dancing wild

Singing at the top of my lungs like a carefree child

Painted dreams in colors that I'd never dared before

Now each mile is a promise I'm keeping to myself

I'm not waiting anymore

Got my keys, got my boots by the door

My heart's been patient long enough

Now I'm driving toward the rising sun

If you're ever ready, that's just fine

But life's too short to stand in line

I'm not waiting, not waiting anymore

No, I'm not waiting anymore
