Verse 1
I kept your letters in a box under my bed,
Every promise folded like a ghost inside my head.
I built a future out of words you never meant,
Held on to the pieces till my fingers finally bled.
Pre‑Chorus
I stayed, even when the silence cut me open,
I prayed, even when the truth was barely spoken.
Chorus
You were my almost, my almost‑forever,
I waited for you through every breaking weather.
But you never came back, you never called out,
I was waiting for something you already lived without.
Now I’m standing in the wreckage of what we could’ve been—
Broken‑hearted, broken truth,
I was waiting for nothing again.
Verse 2
I kept believing you would turn around someday,
But hope is just a habit that refuses to decay.
You taught me how to love by teaching me to ache,
Now every memory feels like a beautiful mistake.
Bridge (post‑hardcore scream option)
I gave you everything—
You gave me empty space.
I held on way too long—
You were already erased.
Final Chorus
You were my almost, my almost‑forever,
I waited for you through every breaking weather.
But you never came back, you never called out,
I was waiting for something you already lived without.
Now I’m learning how to breathe without your shadow in my skin—
Broken‑hearted, broken truth,
I was waiting for nothing again.
