VERSE 1 You were always… just ahead… like a light… I couldn’t reach… Every word… I never said… stayed somewhere… beneath my teeth… I stayed close… to the line… never asking… never crossing… If I waited… one more night… maybe you… would finally want me… PRE-CHORUS I held on… to almost… to a shape… you never gave… Every silence… felt like hope… every pause… I chose to stay… I waited… for you to love me… longer than I should have stayed… I gave you… every quiet part of me… you let it… drift away… Now you say… you finally see me… now you say… you feel the same… —but I’m not… yours to reach anymore… you’re just… too late… VERSE 2 I remember… how it felt… every time… you said my name… Like a door… half-opened… never closed… but never changed… I was standing… in between… what you were… and what I needed… Turning circles… in a dream… hoping you… would finally mean it… PRE-CHORUS I let go… of the waiting… of the version… I became… There’s a limit… to the breaking… to how long… a heart can stay… I waited… for you to love me… longer than I should have stayed… I gave you… every quiet part of me… you let it… drift away… Now you say… you finally see me… now you say… you feel the same… —but I’m not… yours to reach anymore… you’re just… too late… You don’t get… to call me back… from the space… you left me in… I learned how… to live without… what I thought… we could have been… I waited… for you to love me… longer than I should have stayed… I gave you… every quiet part of me… you let it… drift away… Now you say… you finally see me… now you say… you feel the same… —but I’m not… yours to reach anymore… …someone else… knows my name…
