I don't know if you waited for his heart to break Knowing your time would come one day Understanding that only I was the one to cut the bond Hoping that I would realise the rope was tethered all the way Or maybe you didn't have a clue what was going on Didn't even know that I was on the other side of the world Just had a feeling that something was coming your way The same feeling I had when I was a little girl Both ways make my life more worth living After time spent a wandering ghost And so undeterred was your openness that I gave myself willingly My essence even more completed by the welcoming host I knew our love was always destined to be completed But I didn't know you would keep me in the end I thank him for surrendering his half of who I love To the man waiting patiently with the other half ready to mend

The Man Who Waited
I don't know if you waited for his heart to break Knowing your time would come one day Understanding that only I was the one to cut the bond Hoping that I would realise the rope was tethered all the way Or maybe you didn't have a clue what was going on Didn't even know that I was on the other side of the world Just had a feeling that something was coming your way The same feeling I had when I was a little girl Both ways make my life more worth living After time spent a wandering ghost And so undeterred was your openness that I gave myself willingly My essence even more completed by the welcoming host I knew our love was always destined to be completed But I didn't know you would keep me in the end I thank him for surrendering his half of who I love To the man waiting patiently with the other half ready to mend
