[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
