I never thought you'd really hear me
You always saw what you believed
I tried to show you something deeper
But you were lost in what you need
I don't wanna fight your shadow
I don't wanna lose my light
Every word just turns to echo
Every truth becomes a lie

I stay quiet just to keep you close
But I'm fading more than you will know

We can't be lovers, we can't be friends
But I still play it in my head
You hold onto your version of me
Waiting for who I used to be
Wait for your love
Lo-love, I wait for your love

I wait, I wait, I wait for your love
(I wait for your love)

Me and my thoughts sit in the silence
You never listened anyway
I gave you all of my perspective
You only heard what you could take
I don't wanna break the moment
But I'm breaking in my chest
You keep writing my emotions
Like you know me better best

I keep holding what I shouldn't hold
While you rewrite every truth I told

We can't be lovers, we can't be friends
But I still play it in my head
You hold onto your version of me
Waiting for who I used to be
Wait for your love
Lo-love, I wait for your love

You made a picture I don't belong in
Still I'm standing in your frame
I tried to leave but something pulls me
Every time you say my name
Maybe I'll learn to live without it
Maybe I'll learn to let you go
But every night I hear you calling
From a place I used to know

We can't be lovers, we can't be friends
But I still play it in my head
You hold onto your version of me
Waiting for who I used to be
Wait for your love
Lo-love, I wait for your love

We can't be lovers, we can't be friends
But I still play it in my head
You hold onto your version of me
Waiting for who I used to be
Wait for your love
Lo-love, I wait for your love

(Wait for your love, I'll be here in the silence)
(Wait for your love, even if you never find me)
