lyrics

A lingering memory, writing stories in my dreams
I was waiting
You were the enemy, you were bent on ending me
I was waiting

I stayed up all night
Waiting for you but you never came
Clutching weapons tight
Waiting for you but you never came
In the dark of night
You could have come and put me out of my misery
But you never came

You were watching me through the windows, through the trees
Watching and waiting
Is this the end of me? Is this how it has to be?
I was just waiting

I was hiding in plain sight
You had the cover of a dark night
You know me, I won’t put up a fight
Still, you never came

Morning light would rescue me
I am still waiting
