[Intro - distant ambience, soft piano, night street noise]
Late night… neon lights…
7-Eleven glow…
[Verse 1 - quiet, broken]
You said you didn’t wanna argue, so you blocked me out again
Left me talking to myself, didn’t even let me in
You said you had no choice, had to go and find your way
While I’m sitting here alone, watching everything decay
You unplugged the camera, said you didn’t want me to see
Guess that means there’s someone else where you used to be with me
You said “you wouldn’t care”… but that’s a lie you tell yourself
’Cause I’m breaking every second, trying not to lose myself
[Pre-Chorus - tension rising]
I tried to fix it, tried to stay
But you were already walking away
[Chorus - emotional drop]
And I’m still waiting at 7-Eleven
Hoping you might show
Said I’d give you ten minutes
Guess I should’ve known
You were out chasing money
I was chasing you
Now I’m stuck in this feeling
Don’t know what to do
Yeah I’m still waiting, still waiting
Even after everything
Yeah I’m still waiting… for you
[Verse 2 - more intense]
You said you loved me, but love was never enough
Said money matters more when life gets rough
I was building something real, something slow
You needed it right now… I couldn’t go
You kissed someone else, said you didn’t know why
Said you were drunk, had too much on your mind
I should’ve left right there, I should’ve walked away
But I’m still here like an idiot… begging you to stay
[Pre-Chorus - heavier]
I gave you everything I had
Even when it hurt this bad
[Chorus - bigger, emotional]
And I’m still waiting at 7-Eleven
Hoping you might show
Said I’d give you ten minutes
Guess I should’ve known
You were out chasing money
I was chasing you
Now I’m stuck in this feeling
Don’t know what to do
Yeah I’m still waiting, still waiting
Even after everything
Yeah I’m still waiting… for you
[Bridge - stripped, almost spoken]
You said I’d never forget
You said I’d never forgive
But I don’t even care about that
I just wanted us to live
You said you couldn’t stay
’Cause I couldn’t give you what you need
But I was trying to build a life
Not just pay for what you need
[Final Chorus - peak pain]
Now I’m not waiting at 7-Eleven
But I’m still in the same place
Staring at my phone again
Hoping for your name
You broke all of the trust
You tore me in two
But if you walked back through that door
I’d still choose you
Yeah I’d still choose you…
[Outro - fading piano, empty]
Yeah… I’m still here…
Still waiting… for you…
