Waiting Through The Silence

 

 

Verse 1

I’m counting days on this empty clock

Since you said you needed space to walk

The quiet’s heavy, it’s wearing me thin

But I’ll hold my ground till you come back again

 

Pre-Chorus

Every night I fight the urge to call

Your shadow’s still painted on my wall

I’m lost between the “yes” and “no”

But my heart won’t let you go

 

Chorus

So I’m waiting through the silence

Fighting through the ache

Praying you’ll come back

For both our hearts’ sake

I’ll be here through the distance

No matter how it breaks me in two

‘Cause there’s no one else I’ll wait for

But you

 

Verse 2

Your perfume lingers on my shirt

A sweet reminder and a gentle hurt

I replay your laughter in my head

And wonder what words I should’ve said

 

Pre-Chorus

I know you need to find your way

But I’m still hoping for that day

When you’ll walk right through that door

Like you did before

 

Chorus

So I’m waiting through the silence

Fighting through the ache

Praying you’ll come back

For both our hearts’ sake

I’ll be here through the distance

No matter how it breaks me in two

‘Cause there’s no one else I’ll wait for

But you

 

Bridge

Maybe time will heal the cracks

Or show you the road that leads you back

And if love’s as strong as I believe

You’ll find your way back to me

 

Chorus (Repeat)

I’m waiting through the silence

Fighting through the ache

Praying you’ll come back

For both our hearts’ sake

I’ll be here through the distance

No matter how it breaks me in two

‘Cause there’s no one else I’ll wait for

But you

 

Outro

Yeah, there’s no one else I’ll wait for

But you
