Wait

(Verse 1)

The room is quiet, but my head’s too loud

Your name is screaming in the silent now

Your jacket’s hanging by the door

Like you might come back like before

I trace the cracks you left in me

Every word, every memory

I lie awake and watch the ceiling break

‘Cause sleep won’t take the pain away

(Pre-Chorus)

I count the days, I count the lies

I count the reasons you said goodbye

I tell myself you’ll turn around

But hope is getting hard to find now

(Chorus)

So I wait in the dark, in the cold, in the rain

With your ghost in my arms and your name in my veins

I still wait like you might walk through the door

But you’re not here anymore… not anymore

(Ohohohohoho)

And I wait every night till the sky turns blue

For a sign, for a word, for the truth from you

But the truth is a knife that I can’t push away

You’re gone… and I’m still gonna wait

(Ohohohohoho)

and I’m still gonna wait

(Ohohohohoho)

I’m still gonna wait

(Verse 2)

Your laughter’s still stuck in these walls

Like pictures that I can’t make fall

Your coffee cup, still by the sink

I don’t use it, I just let it sink

Your side of the bed’s still warm somehow

Like you were here just a moment now

I talk to you when I’m alone

Like you never really left this home

(Pre-Chorus 2)

I tell myself you’re better off

But every breath is way too soft

Without your weight upon my chest

Without the truth you used to confess

(Chorus)

So I wait in the dark, in the cold, in the rain

With your ghost in my arms and your name in my veins

I still wait like you might walk through the door

But you’re not here anymore… not anymore

(Ohohohohoho)

And I wait every night till the sky turns blue

For a sign, for a word, for the truth from you

But the truth is a knife that I can’t push away

You’re gone… and I’m still gonna wait

(Ohohohohoho)

and I’m still gonna wait

(Ohohohohoho)

I’m still gonna wait

(Bridge)

If loving you is my deepest scar

Then healing feels a million miles far

I’d bleed forever just to feel you once

But I’m alone with what we were and what we lost

You said forever like a loaded gun

Pulled the trigger and then you were gone

Now every dream just whispers your name

And every tomorrow feels the same

Ohohohohooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

(Chorus)

So I wait in the dark, in the cold, in the rain

With your ghost in my arms and your name in my veins

I still wait like you might walk through the door

But you’re not here anymore… not anymore

(Ohohohohoho)

And I wait every night till the sky turns blue

For a sign, for a word, for the truth from you

But the truth is a knife that I can’t push away

You’re gone… and I’m still gonna wait

(Ohohohohoho)

and I’m still gonna wait

(Ohohohohoho)

I’m still gonna wait

Ohohoooooo, I’m still gonna wait

Still gonna waaaaaaaait

Mhmmm

Maybe one day I’ll learn to breathe

Without your shadow next to me

But tonight the pain won’t fade

So I close my eyes… and I still wait
