Waiting for Myself (Mashup)

[Verse 1] The branches trace thin lines across the sky The garden falls silent; the iron gate waits A cold key in my palm [Pre-Chorus] The condensation left on a windowpane Speaks of your absence before I do [Chorus] It’s not that I’m saying, “Don’t come anymore, don’t come” Your return is just an old picture in my mind Winter drags on, the road grows shorter inside me I’m not waiting for you—I’m waiting for myself [Verse 2] Amid unspoken sentences I find myself every evening Every trace is a little of you, a little of me [Pre-Chorus] A bird lands on the end of a wire Then decides against flying away [Chorus] It’s not that I’m saying, “Don’t come anymore, don’t come” Your return is just an old picture in my mind Winter drags on, the path grows shorter inside me I’m not waiting for you—I’m waiting for myself [Bridge] Come—this home isn’t complete without you Days pass, but my heart won’t get used to it I carry this silence Your name slowly fades inside me [Final Chorus] It’s not that I’m saying, “Don’t come anymore, don’t come” Your return is just an old picture in my mind My heart stands there like a suitcase No matter where I go, the weight remains the same [Outro] I left the key in the ground Come, this house isn’t complete without you
