Well, the reason I'm here and 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
Countless nights under the same old moon
Holding on a hold,
though I know it's all in vain
But I can't help loving you,
even through the pain
The streetlights flicker when I walk these empty roads
I see us dancing in the glow of long
ago
But every memory's fading,
turning into dust
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
In the quiet in,
when no one else is near The tears I hold inside start to reappear
I'm a master of waiting, I've learned it for you
I've spent
countless nights under
the same old moon
Holding on a hold,
though I know it's all in vain
But I can't help loving you,
even through the pain
I know I should move on or let go of this dream
But something in my heart keeps pulling at the seams
It whispers in the dark,
saying you might turn around
Someday, somehow, we'll bring you back to town
