[Verse 1]
I kept the light on by the window
Like you might come walking through
Every night I told my heart
There was still a chance for me and you
I made excuses for the silence
Turned your distance into hope
But loving someone who’s not here
Is a lonely way to cope

[Pre-Chorus]
I could count another thousand days
And still not know if you’ll come back
But I’m tired of building dreams
Around everything I lack

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna spend my life waiting
For someone who’s never there
Holding on to empty promises
Pretending you still care
I love you, maybe I always will
But love can’t live on “someday”
I don’t wanna spend my life waiting
So I’m learning to walk away

[Verse 2]
There were moments I could feel you
Even when you were miles away
I held every little memory
Like it could make you want to stay
But I deserve a love beside me
Not a shadow I can’t touch
And maybe letting go of you
Doesn’t mean I loved you less

[Pre-Chorus]
I kept thinking time would change your mind
That patience would bring you home
But I can’t keep giving all my heart
To a love I hold alone

[Bridge]
If you wanted me, you knew where I was
If you needed me, I would’ve stayed
But I can’t lose another year
Hoping you’ll choose me one day
And if goodbye is what it takes
To finally choose myself
I’ll carry what we used to be
But I won’t wait for something else

[Final Chorus]
I won’t spend the rest of my life waiting
For a heart that won’t come home
I’d rather face a thousand lonely nights
Than keep feeling alone
And I love you, God, I love you still
But that doesn’t mean I should stay
I won’t spend the rest of my life waiting
For someone who’s not on their way

[Outro]
Maybe somewhere, in another life
You would’ve chosen me
But I’ve waited long enough
Now I’m choosing me
