She waits alone

She gets tired

As the day falls down

She seems uninspired

She won't wait

Much longer

And the tears held back

Make her stronger

In the meantime I get open eyed

To my lowly state of mind

The kindest thing

That she's seen

Is an open mouth

Without a scream

At her feet

Like water

The reflection there

Is getting darker

In the meantime I get open eyed

To my lowly state of mind

If I can't hear her

Will I ever know

A love that's meant to grow

All my life I've wondered how

The things I've been

Could make a difference in the end

But every day it seems more clear

I don't know how I'd make it through

If you weren't here
