(Verse 1) Holding on so tightly, giving all I can Trying to fill the silence, hoping you'll understand The depth of my devotion, the fire in my soul But you keep pushing further, losing all control (Pre-Chorus) A constant test of patience, a never-ending game Ignoring all the signals, refusing to take blame I keep extending branches, reaching out to you But you're too blind to notice, the love that's shining through (Chorus) How long will it take, for you to finally see The emptiness that follows, when you lose someone like me? Will it take empty spaces, and echoes in the hall To realize the treasure, before you let it fall? How long till you know, how much I truly care When I'm no longer present, and you feel the empty air? (Verse 2) I've poured my heart out, laid my feelings bare Ignoring all the warnings, pushing past despair Believing in the promise, of a love that could be true But you keep building barriers, with everything you do (Pre-Chorus) A constant test of patience, a never-ending game Ignoring all the signals, refusing to take blame I keep extending branches, reaching out to you But you're too blind to notice, the love that's shining through (Chorus) How long will it take, for you to finally see The emptiness that follows, when you lose someone like me? Will it take empty spaces, and echoes in the hall To realize the treasure, before you let it fall? How long till you know, how much I truly care When I'm no longer present, and you feel the empty air? (Bridge) I don't want to walk away, to disappear from sight But I can't keep fighting battles, if you refuse to fight So I'm giving you this warning, a plea before I go Will it take losing me completely, for the truth to finally show? (Chorus) How long will it take, for you to finally see The emptiness that follows, when you lose someone like me? Will it take empty spaces, and echoes in the hall To realize the treasure, before you let it fall? How long till you know, how much I truly care When I'm no longer present, and you feel the empty air? (Outro) Empty spaces, a silent, hollow plea Realize what you're losing, before you lose me How much I love you, a truth you can't deny Before it's too late, before I say goodbye.
