I'm sitting here lost in the quiet
The echo of your laugh now a silent riot
How can I keep waiting when the days drag on
The clock ticks loud but you're still gone
The emptiness screams louder than my thoughts
How can I explain the loneliness you brought
Each night gets colder and the silence grows
But where you are no one knows
How can I breathe when you're not by my side
The weight of this distance I can't seem to hide
How can I stay when I feel like an afterthought
How can I hold on to what time forgot
I'm growing numb the days just fade
But I'm still here waiting for you
How can I keep going when life moves on
How can I keep feeling when you're long gone
I want to scream but I've run out of words
This love is heavy but I'm starting to learn
How can I pretend like I'm not falling apart
When all that's left is a hollow heart
You're somewhere out there but you are out of my reach
But how can I wait on this desolate beach
How can I stand when the world moves too fast
The pain in my chest how long can it last
How can I stay when I feel like an afterthought
How can I hold on to what time forgot
I'm growing numb the days just fade
But I'm still here waiting for you
How can I keep going when life moves on
How can I keep feeling when you're long gone
I've tried I'm done and the world moves on
I'm torn between waiting and letting you go
How can I fight what I don't even know
The world's still spinning but I'm standing still
Caught in the space between wanting and will
The hurt won't leave but neither will I
How can I find the strength continue to try
How can I stay when I feel like an afterthought
How can I hold on to what time forgot
I'm growing numb the days just pass
But I'm still here waiting for that beautiful ass
How can I keep going when life moves on
How can I keep feeling when you're long gone
I'm still here but how long can I wait
Time moves on and I'm left to fate
How can I I'm gone and the world moves on.
