Hook
Waiting on a name I’ll never see,
Phone lights up but it ain’t for me.
Heart still beats where you should be,
Waiting on a name… waiting on a name.
Verse 1
You pass me by like I don’t exist,
But my heart still leans every time we get close like this.
You say my name like it’s just a sound,
But I replay it later when no one’s around.
You older, guarded, built out of pain,
I studied your silence like it spoke my name.
I gave you patience, I gave you space,
But you never saw love written on my face.
Pre-Chorus
I wish you wanted me the way I wanted you,
I loved you quietly, I loved you true.
You kept it light, said it wasn’t deep,
While I was drowning in feelings you didn’t keep.
Chorus
I wait for your name to light my phone,
Staring at the screen, feeling more alone.
I wish you noticed the love I gave,
Every broken piece I laid in your hands.
It’s crazy how close we got, still worlds apart,
Loving you felt like betrayal to my heart.
Hook
Waiting on a name I’ll never see,
Same blue glow staring back at me.
Heart still hopes but my mind knows pain,
Waiting on a name… waiting on a name.
Verse 2
We talk like fire but we move like fear,
One step closer, then you disappear.
I gave you my soul, you gave me delays,
I wanted forever, you wanted safe.
You never saw the nights I stayed awake,
Holding onto something you wouldn’t claim.
I played it cool, but I felt it deep,
Now I’m losing sleep over love you keep.
Chorus
I wait for your name to light my phone,
Praying for a text I already know won’t come.
I wish you noticed the love I gave,
Every silent tear, every hope I saved.
It’s crazy how close we got, still worlds apart,
Loving you felt like betrayal to my heart.
Hook (Slower / Stripped)
Waiting on a name…
That don’t belong to me.
Waiting on a name…
That never chose me.
Outro (Dark Ending)
Tonight I turned my phone face down,
Let the silence say what you never could now.
If you wanted me, you would’ve stayed,
I’m done bleeding for love you never gave.
I don’t hate you—but I can’t remain,
I’m done waiting…
I’m done waiting on your name.
