The clock keeps ticking, I am standing still
You're the reason I'm here,
that I know I always will
I see your shadow in every passing dream
The echoes of your laughter still make my heart scream
I'm good at pretending everything's okay
Putting on a smile just to get through the day
But when the night falls and the silence grows
I'm left with nothing but the emptiness,
I know
I'm a master of waiting,
I've learned it for you
I spent countless nights under the same moon Holding on to hope,
though I know it's all in vain
That I can help loving you,
even through
the pain
The streetlights flicker,
I walk these empty roads
I see us dancing in the glow of long ago But every memory's fading,
turning into dust
And still I wait, believing in what once was us
I'm good at hiding how much it tears me down
I laugh when they ask why I still stick around
But in the quiet now,
when else is near The tears I hold inside start to reappear
I'm a master of waiting,
I've learned it for you
I spent countless nights under the same moon Holding on to hope,
though I know it's all in vain
That I can help loving you,
even through the pain
I know I should move on
Let go of this dream But something in my heart keeps pulling at
the seams
It whispers in the dark, keeps saying you're
That maybe someday,
somehow,
we'll bring you back to town
