Waiting on You
Eternal Echoes: Love Lost and the Weight of Waiting
Lyrics
You said you needed space
You communicated a need for personal space.
You said you needed time
You expressed a need for time.
To finally find your faith in you
To rediscover confidence or belief in oneself.
For these mountains to climb
Metaphorically, facing challenges or obstacles.
You said I will just blink one time
You assured a swift return with a single blink.
And you'll be back for more
Anticipation of your return for more connection.
How could I have known
The speaker couldn't have predicted your prolonged absence.
That you won't come back at all?
Surprise that you didn't return as promised.
All these months I kept waiting on you
Extended period of waiting for your reappearance.
All these days I spent crying over you
Days spent in emotional distress over your absence.
Your memories in my mind are like a stab in the heart
Recollection of memories causing emotional pain.
And deep inside I knew that I would never get that far
Realization that achieving closeness is impossible.
By waiting
The act of waiting is acknowledged.
Waiting on you
Continued waiting on your return.
I wonder what was wrong
Curiosity about the reason behind your departure.
Wonder what had made you run
Questioning the cause of your decision to leave.
Did I say something
Reflecting on potential communication errors.
I rather didn't say?
Regret for unspoken words that might have caused the separation.
All these months I kept waiting on you
Continued waiting despite the uncertainty.
All these days I spent crying over you
Emotional distress lingers over the passage of time.
Your memories in my mind are like a stab in the heart
The memories evoke emotional pain.
And deep inside I knew that I would never get that far
Acknowledgment of a realization about the relationship's limits.
By waiting
Reiteration of the emotional toll from waiting.
Waiting on you
Continued anticipation for your return.
If there was anything
Exploration of potential actions that could have made a difference.
I could've changed
The speaker wonders about possible changes.
That I could've said or done
Reflection on words or actions that might have influenced your departure.
To keep you here and don't make you run
Expressing a desire to prevent your departure.
You know I would've been
Commitment to being whatever you needed.
Anything
The speaker would become anything necessary for you.
You needed me to be
Commitment to fulfilling your needs.
But you preferred to walk away
Recognition of your choice to leave.
And turn your back on me
Your decision to turn away is acknowledged.
All these months I kept waiting on you
Reiteration of the prolonged period of waiting.
All these days I spent crying over you
Continued emotional distress over your absence.
Your memories in my mind are like a stab in the heart
Recurrence of painful memories in the mind.
All these months I kept waiting on you
Reiteration of the extended waiting period.
All these days I spent crying over you
Continued emotional distress over time.
Your memories in my mind are like a stab in the heart
The memories still cause emotional pain.
And deep inside I knew that I would never get that far
Acknowledgment of the realization about the relationship's limits.
By waiting
Reiteration of the emotional toll from waiting.
Waiting on you
Continued anticipation for your return.
By Waiting on you, oh oh
Emphasis on the act of waiting.
Waiting
Reiteration of the continued waiting.
Waiting on you
Reiteration of waiting on you.
