i knew you'd leave me one day soon,
so i made the most of every afternoon
i held on tight to moments we shared, trying to cherish, to show i cared

each second felt like a precious gift, knowing you'd be gone, my heart would shift
i loved you deeper with every sigh
aware that time was passing by

take me wherever you want,
and talk however you feel.
ask for whatever you need,
i'll always stay here

scream and curse, i don't care
cry out all of your tears
because silence is killing my hope
you are something i've wanted for years

each day that passes through
another piece of truth goes loose
i'm who i want to be
but it's never easy to be so free

i've longed for you for so long
but you went on with someone you hated
but i will wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
like a dog waiting for you to come home

i will wait

you can go back to the past
but no one will be waiting for you there
what's done is done
and you have to live with that

like stars that twinkle in the velvet sky, your love illuminates my soul, i'll never die.
a bond so deep, a love so true,
a treasure found, a dream come true.
