[Verse]
I gave him my soul my fire my light
He held it like a thief holds the night
Laughed with her under a blood-red moon
Thinking I’d break thinking too soon
[Prechorus]
I let them spin their webs so thin
Watched from shadows deep within
[Chorus]
Oh the witch who waited never wept
I held my breath while secrets crept
Let them play their hollow game
But the cards caught fire in their own flame
[Verse 2]
Her perfume lingered like rot in the air
His smile a dagger a promise unfair
They danced on my grave I did not fall
For I was the storm they didn’t see at all
[Bridge]
The violin cried where words couldn’t reach
A haunting hymn their lies couldn’t breach
Each note a step toward their regret
The witch who waited never forgets
[Chorus]
Oh the witch who waited never wept
I held my breath while secrets crept
Let them play their hollow game
But the cards caught fire in their own flame
