Lyrics
Intro
(Saxophone & Piano Loop)
(Yeah... check it...) (Is it just me? or is it us?)
Verse 1
We were woven tight, a single beating heart Before the miles came and tore our world apart You blamed the time, said necessity was the cause So I pressed "pause" on my life... obeying your laws You said, "Just wait for me, I swear I’ll return" So I stayed anchored here... while watching bridges burn
Pre-Chorus
But as the world kept spinning, you drifted away The promise held firm... but your heart went astray You tell me to "wait," but you offer only coldness Silence is the language of your new remoteness
Now I’m standing at the edge, don't know where to start Questioning my life... and this heavy heart
Chorus
Tell me! Is it Waiting or Apart!! Two different words... but they break the same heart
Am I holding on to hope? Or just a ghost? The line is blurring... where it hurts the most
So tell me now... before I break apart Is this Waiting... or are we Apart?
Is this Waiting... or are we Apart?
Verse 2
I bridge the gap, but you build a wall I’m crossing oceans, while you won't walk the hall Video calls... just faces on a screen Missing the warmth of what we used to mean
You say "nothing's changed," but your eyes don't lie It feels like a slow... and painful goodbye
Pre-Chorus
'Cause as the world kept spinning, you drifted away The promise held firm... but your heart went astray
You tell me to "wait," but you offer only coldness Silence is the language of your new remoteness
Now I’m standing at the edge, don't know where to start...
Chorus
Tell me! Is it Waiting or Apart!! Two different words... but they break the same heart
Am I holding on to hope? Or just a ghost? The line is blurring... where it hurts the most
So tell me now... before I break apart Is this Waiting... or are we Apart?
Is this Waiting... or are we Apart?
Bridge
A clean break is better... than this endless gray! If you’ve let go... then just find the guts to say!
Don't keep me hanging... suspended in the air...
Calling it "love"... when you’re not even there! (Yeah!!)
(Saxophone Solo)
Chorus
Tell me! Is it Waiting or Apart!! Two different words... but they break the same heart
Am I holding on to hope? Or just a ghost? The line is blurring... where it hurts the most
So tell me now... before I break apart Is this Waiting... or are we Apart?
Is this Waiting... or are we Apart?
Outro
Look at us now... no stars above. Is this the final chapter of love? Waiting or Apart... (Peace.)
