Wendy at the Window(T.I.V. Original Dark What If? Chapter 7)

[Violin intro] [Verse 1] Wendy on the sill With her braids undone Counting wings in the dark For the boy who'd never come Little hands on the lace Little heart on the gate She kept a room in her chest For a dream that liked to stray [Pre-Chorus] She learned to wait too long She learned to call that love A glasshouse full of promises And none of them enough [Chorus] Wendy, Wendy, hold on tight Wendy, Wendy, watch the night He won't return He won't return And the waiting turns to ice Wendy, Wendy, shut the door Wendy, Wendy, want no more What she lost What she lost Gets sharp in the light [Verse 2] Years pull hard at the seams Turn her kindness to dust The girl with the open arms Learns what hunger does She marries into the hush Hides the ache in her teeth Sets her jaw like a wall Lets the tenderness leave [Pre-Chorus] Now every smile costs Now every promise stings She wears her grief like perfume And talks with sharpened things [Chorus] Wendy, Wendy, hold on tight Wendy, Wendy, watch the night He won't return He won't return And the waiting turns to ice Wendy, Wendy, shut the door Wendy, Wendy, want no more What she lost What she lost Gets sharp in the light [Instrumental] [Bridge] Tell me, who can blame her? For building thrones from pain For teaching little hearts That love can leave a stain The girl is still inside But she speaks with a hard voice now A lost child turned to stone With a crown of old vows They remember you only as The wicked stepmother now [Final Chorus] Wendy, Wendy, hold on tight Wendy, Wendy, watch the night He won't return He won't return And the waiting turns to ice Wendy, Wendy, shut the door Wendy, Wendy, waits no more What she lost What she lost Made the wicked woman rise [Outro] From the window to the cage From the dream to the blade Wendy, Wendy What the waiting made
