**(Verse 1)** ...Dear God, I'm.. in the darkness, (my soul cries out to you). Here in this silence, the memories cut me through. I confess my stumbles, the (regrets that still remain), But for her love, I walked a hard road, endured the deepest PAIN..... **(Chorus)** Oh Lord, you saw when she left me waiting, An empty room echoes where our love was stating. My heart laid bare before her wandering feet, Now this hollow space is all I'm left to meet. Oh Lord, you know I was waiting, but my prayers are for forgiveness..., Just an empty heart remains, a silent, broken word... **(Verse 2)** (Did you see me truly try?), did you see the man I fought so hard to be? For you, my love, I’d (brave any fire), for you, I’d set my (longing) spirit free. But somewhere in the quiet moments, when I was looking in your (distant) eyes, I felt a shift, a (bitter) change, like a love song’s (final) dying sighs.... **(Chorus)** Oh Lord, you saw when she left me waiting, An empty room echoes where our love was stating. My heart laid bare before her wandering feet, Now this hollow space is all I'm left to meet. Oh Lord, you know I was waiting, but my prayers are for forgiveness, Just an empty heart remains, a silent, broken word. **(Bridge)** (Was I too blind to see?) the (growing) distance day by (painful) day? You spoke of needs and wanting more, in a way that pushed my (dreams) away. I always put you first, my darling, even when it stung my (prideful) inside..., Thinking your happiness was mine, my (constant) anchor, and my guide. **(Chorus)** Oh Lord, you saw when she left me waiting, An empty room echoes where our love was stating. My heart laid bare before her wandering feet, Now this hollow space is all I'm left to meet. Oh Lord, you know I was waiting, but my prayers are for forgiveness, Just an empty heart remains, a silent, broken word. **(Verse 3)** (What more in God's name could I have done?...) I whispered to the (empty) air, Waiting for you to turn back, to see the love that’s (always) there. I tried to bridge the (vast and cold) gap, with every tender touch and plea, But your eyes held a (frozen) gaze, a world that (rejected) me. **(Chorus)** Oh Lord, you saw when she left me waiting, An empty room echoes where our love was stating. My heart laid bare before her wandering feet, Now this hollow space is all I'm left to meet. Oh Lord, you know I was waiting, but my prayers are for forgiveness, Just an empty heart remains, a silent, broken word. **(Outro)** Though you’ve found your own way, and my arms no longer hold you near, Dear God, please watch over her, keep her from all fear. Let her path be safe and bright, filled with all she desires, Even though my heart is breaking, love’s ember still inspires. You left me when I was waiting, but her well-being, I still crave. Amen. [outro] [end] .., with every tender touch and plea, But your eyes held a (frozen) gaze, a world that (rejected) me. **(Chorus)** Oh Lord, you saw when she left me wait, My heart laid bare, sealing a cruel fate. This empty room where our love once stayed, You know I waited, but my prayer here with you lord. An empty heart remains, a silent, broken plea. **(Outro)** Though you’ve found your own way, and my arms no longer hold you near, Dear God, please watch over her, keep her from all fear. Let her path be safe and bright, filled with all she desires, Even though my heart is breaking, love’s ember still inspires. You left me when I was waiting, but her well-being, I still crave. Amen.
