Waiting

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.
