**[Intro – low, matter-of-fact]**
I’m waiting for someone
Who already decided not to come.
---
**[Verse 1]**
Sat down like I was early
Turns out I was just wrong
Burned the ones who would’ve shown
‘Cause they talked too much, stayed too long
I tell myself they were annoying
Like that makes it clean
Funny how silence gets louder
When you pick it yourself
I walked seven miles from work
Just to get drunk on purpose
Didn’t matter where I ended up
Just needed the night to notice me
---
**[Pre-Chorus]**
I don’t care who shows up
That’s what I keep saying
But I keep checking the door
Like I’m lying to myself
---
**[Chorus]**
I’m waiting on nothing
At a place that never closes
Watching time pass like traffic
Knowing I waved it through
I burned the bridges that held
Now I’m mad they’re gone
I don’t want forgiveness
I just don’t want to sit alone
---
**[Verse 2]**
Drank too fast, tipped too little
Shot contest, lost on purpose
Bartender hates me, I can tell
She doesn’t even hide it
Alcohol poisoning sounds dramatic
But it’s really just boring
It’s just me trying to feel something
Before the lights come on
Bus rolls by, might be Greyhound
Might be someone else leaving
I imagine getting on
Like I wouldn’t miss this place
---
**[Pre-Chorus]**
I say I don’t care
Who shows up
But I wouldn’t be here
If that was true
---
**[Chorus]**
I’m waiting on nothing
Calling it patience
Calling it fate
Calling it “just one more drink”
Everyone I pushed away
Had a reason to stay
I just didn’t want to hear them
So now I don’t hear anyone
---
**[Verse 3]**
JJ hates me, and yeah, that’s fair
That one’s on me, no debate
Sold him a busted car, half-truths
Called it business, called it fate
I keep thinking I’m misunderstood
But it’s simpler than that
I keep choosing the easy exit
Then acting shocked when it’s empty
---
**[Bridge]**
I don’t want a scene
I don’t want a savior
I just want someone
Who doesn’t feel temporary
But I make everything temporary
That’s the part I avoid
---
**[Outro]**
Still waiting.
No one’s coming.
Not because they can’t—
Because I already told them not to.
