(Verse 1)

I kept the light on past the fall,

Let the seasons fade along the wall.

Each coat I wore still smelled like you,

Even when the skies turned blue.

The chair by the window hasn’t moved,

It holds your shape like living proof.

The clock gave up on counting days—

I just sat still and watched you fade.

♪

(Chorus)

I waited too long

For a knock that never came.

Whispers filled the hallway

But never said my name.

I held the silence like a thread,

Tied it round what we had left—

Now the wait’s become a room

And I don’t leave it yet.

♪

(Verse 2)

I marked the doorframe with my hands,

To measure time I couldn’t stand.

Your voice grew softer in my mind,

But the ache stayed sharp, stayed kind.

I spoke to shadows just in case,

Left your mug in its same place.

The world moved on, but not this floor—

Still creaking toward your open door.

♪

(Chorus)

I waited too long

For a knock that never came.

Whispers filled the hallway

But never said my name.

I held the silence like a thread,

Tied it round what we had left—

Now the wait’s become a room

And I don’t leave it yet.

♪

(Bridge)

You never said you’d come back in,

But I believed the wind.

Now every gust feels like a lie

That I invited in.

♪

(Final Chorus)

I waited too long,

And now I live there too—

Between the clock

And thoughts of you.

This isn’t grief,

It’s just too late.

And waiting turned

To something I can’t shake.
