I Waited For Us

Some dreams, they don't fade with the morning
They hunt like footsteps, I still hear

Walking away, I waited for us under stars, under storms
But you were never waiting at all

You said you'd never drift too far
But promises don't live where shadows are
I held on tight for sleepless nights
To memories painted in borrowed light

But every kiss was just pretend
You loved me like the mean's not the end
I waited for, that's where the silence grew
Where the stars fell down, but I still knew

That hope can burn and still be blind
You took forever and left me behind
You held my heart like something borrowed
And left it there with no tomorrow

I saw the truth in things unsaid
Like empty space beside my bed
You were elsewhere with someone new
While I still dance in dreams of you

I begged the dawn to bring me peace
But hurt like this, it doesn't cease
You promised stars and brought the night
Now I'm the ghost beneath your life

I waited for us where the silence grew
Where the stars fell down but I still knew
That hope can burn and still be blind
It took forever and left me behind

You held my heart like something borrowed
Left it there with no tomorrow
Now I rise from where I bled
From pages torn and words unsaid

No longer lost in your disguise
I'm not your ashes, I'm sunrise
I waited forever but now I see
The one I needed was always me

Lest the stars collapse, let it go with fade
I've turned the pain into the blade

And in this quiet, I'm no longer waiting
I've already left
