The clock keeps ticking, that I'm standing still
You're 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 calls
I'm left with nothing but the emptiness I know
I'm a master of waiting,
I've learned it for you
I've spent countless nights under the same old moon
Holding on to hope though I know it's all in vain
But I can't 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 but hiding how much it tears me down I
laugh when they ask why I still stick around
But in the quiet 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
