Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] You call me when your sky falls I answer like a reflex Ten years of the same storm Ten years in your orbit [Verse 1] I held your hand through every wreck You held my heart at arm’s length You’d kiss me when you needed warmth Then vanish when the heat hit I watched you chase your ghosted dreams You watched me wait in doorways I learned the shape of all your fears You never learned my middle name [Chorus] Ten years in your waiting room Bleeding in the plastic chairs You’d say “I’m almost ready” Then you’d disappear like air I set myself on fire Just to keep your shadows warm But I am done I am done Being rubble in your storm Hear me now I’m walking from your door [Verse 2] You’d circle back when nights felt cold My number in your last calls I stitched you up with shaking hands You left me with the needle You swore that “someday” meant something I carved it in my ribcage But “someday” is a moving line And I am stuck in place [Chorus] Ten years in your waiting room Bleeding in the plastic chairs You’d say “I’m almost ready” Then you’d disappear like air I set myself on fire Just to keep your shadows warm But I am done I am done Being rubble in your storm Hear me now I’m walking from your door [Bridge] I used to pray you’d turn around (turn around) Now I just pray I keep walking (keep walking) You are the wound that would not close I am the scar that finally chose [Chorus] Ten years in your waiting room Seat’s cold and the clock won’t move You’ll say “I think I lost you” I’ll say “I finally found the truth” I set myself on fire Now I’m stepping through the smoke I am done I am done With the promises you choke Hear me now You don’t own this heart no more (hey!) Hear me now I’m locking my own door
