[Intro – soft piano, distant vocal ad libs]
Mmm… yeah
Still waiting…
Still hoping…
⸻
[Verse 1]
I been holdin’ on so tight
Thinkin’ love would make it right
You say the words I wanna hear
But they fade out every night
Told me you’d do better soon
But the silence fills the room
Same story, different day
Now I’m wondering if I should stay
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I believed in every try
Gave you time, gave you mine
But the more I wait, the less I see
Any change in you for me
⸻
[Chorus]
Still waiting
But you don’t move
Say you will
But never do
I’ve been patient
But I’m breaking too
How long do I hold on
To a version that’s not true?
Still waiting…
But I think I always knew
⸻
[Verse 2]
You don’t see the way I bend
Just to meet you where you’ve been
I loved the hope in you, not the now
And I’m just learning how…
To let go of what’s not real
Of what I want and what I feel
’Cause love should lift, not weigh me down
But you keep spinning me around
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – variation]
I was rootin’ for the bloom
But the flower came too soon
Now I’m tired, worn, and bruised
From chasing the you I’ll lose
⸻
[Chorus – repeat with harmony]
Still waiting
But you don’t move
Say you will
But never do
I’ve been patient
But I’m breaking too
How long do I hold on
To a version that’s not true?
Still waiting…
But I think I always knew
⸻
[Bridge – falsetto / soft harmonies]
Maybe change ain’t in your hands
Maybe love’s not in your plans
And maybe I’m just the one
Who held on too long…
⸻
[Outro – fade]
Still waiting…
Still fading…
Still aching…
But no changing…
