Centuries Waiting

How can I live without you in this life?

Every streetlight flickers like your goodbye

I walk these empty rooms, echo your name

But the silence answers the same

There’s nothing that I want from you anymore

No revenge, no closure, no open door

Just the ghost of what we used to be

Haunting every breath inside of me

All I hope is your hopes come true

That the world gives back every piece to you

I don’t need the stars to align for us again

I’ll just wait centuries for you, my friend

There’s nothing I wish best except for your light

To shine even brighter in the dead of night

All I can say, through the tears and the years

Is I still love you… I still love you

Time can show us the way to the truth someday

Maybe you’ll look back and remember my face

Or maybe you’ll never turn around at all

Either way, I’ll be the one who falls

I don’t pray for miracles or second tries

I just carry your shadow in these tired eyes

No anger left, no fire to burn

Only lessons that I’ll never learn

All I hope is your hopes come true

That the world gives back every piece to you

I don’t need the stars to align for us again

I’ll just wait centuries for you, my friend

There’s nothing I wish best except for your light

To shine even brighter in the dead of night

All I can say, through the tears and the years

Is I still love you… God, I still love you

Maybe in another life we’ll get it right

No goodbyes, no fading into night

But here in this one, I’m learning to let go

While holding on to the only truth I know

You were my everything, even when I wasn’t yours

And that’s the ache that forever pours

How can I live you in life?

With nothing left but echoes and knife

There’s nothing that I want, nothing to claim

Just your happiness to ease the pain

When time finally shows us the way to the truth

I’ll still be here, faded, missing you

Centuries could pass, I’d never move

All I can say is… I love you

I love you

I’ll wait centuries…

For you…

I still love you…

I still love you…
