(Verse 1) I did my hair, lit the softest light, Played that song you said you liked. Clock ticks louder than my breath— You said “I’ll call,” but not just yet. (Chorus) Where are you now, when you said you’d be near? I’m holding on to silence, choking back fear. I gave you my evening, I gave you my pride— And all I get is stillness on the line. (Verse 2) Two missed hours, no sign, no sound, I start to wonder if I’ve been played around. This dress feels foolish, this hope feels thin, What if your promise was paper-thin? (Chorus) Where are you now, when you said you’d be near? I’m holding on to silence, choking back fear. I gave you my evening, I gave you my pride— And all I get is stillness on the line. (Verse 3) It’s midnight sharp, and I’ve heard the truth— No ringtone lies, no lame excuse. You’ve moved on, or forgot my name, Either way, I’m not in your game. (Chorus) Where are you now, when you said you’d be near? I’m holding on to silence, choking back fear. I gave you my evening, I gave you my pride— And all I get is stillness on the line. (Bridge) I held the phone like it held your face, Waited for love in an empty place. But you weren’t late… you were never mine— Just a ghost I kept alive with time. (Chorus) You’re not coming back, and that’s just fine. No more waiting on a crooked line. I gave you too much, now I reclaim mine— Goodbye to the stillness on the line. (Outro) She stands up tall, unplugs the night, Steps through the door into her own light.
