(Verse 1)
It’s midnight again, and my phone won’t light,
Every second feels like another fight.
Your silence echoes, it cuts like glass,
I keep staring at the screen, waiting for your “hi” at last.
(Pre-Chorus)
I tell myself you’re just busy,
But my heart beats loud, uneasy.
Every thought turns into doubt,
I’m falling, can’t find my way out.
(Chorus)
The countdown’s on – and I can’t breathe,
I’m counting down the words you’ll never speak.
Hope’s a flame that burns too deep,
But I’m still waiting, losing sleep.
The countdown’s on, my heart’s on fire,
Every minute feeds desire.
Just one message could make it right,
Before the countdown ends tonight.
(Verse 2)
You said you’d call, but the stars fade away,
I’m drowning in things I’ll never say.
Trying to stay strong, trying not to care,
But love’s a ghost that’s always there.
(Pre-Chorus)
I whisper your name through the dark,
Hoping somehow it’ll spark.
A sign, a text, a reason to stay,
Before my faith fades away.
(Chorus)
The countdown’s on – and I can’t breathe,
I’m counting down the words you’ll never speak.
Hope’s a flame that burns too deep,
But I’m still waiting, losing sleep.
The countdown’s on, my heart’s on fire,
Every minute feeds desire.
Just one message could make it right,
Before the countdown ends tonight.
(Bridge)
Maybe I’m a fool for dreaming,
Maybe love’s not what it’s seeming.
But if your name appears on my screen,
I’ll forgive the space in between.
(Final Chorus)
The countdown’s on – my heart still beats,
For the love that knocks me off my feet.
You’re the reason, you’re the sound,
Of every second breaking down.
The countdown’s on, can’t let go,
I’m waiting, and you’ll never know—
That all I need’s a single line,
Before the countdown ends… this time.
