Waiting for you
Lost in Echoes: A Heart's Battle for Redemption
Lyrics
God first
Expressing the importance of prioritizing God in life.
So I guess we're really done now? It's supposed to be me and you together, I guess I'm not the one now And you would think this shit was gon' last forever, but we both know the run down
Reflecting on the end of a relationship, feeling excluded, and acknowledging the transient nature of things.
From the main one I speak to To going ghost, acting like I don't need you
From communicating openly to withdrawing and pretending independence.
From inviting you to shows, getting nervous to meet you
Recalling a time of nervousness and excitement when inviting the partner to events.
To being in your city, making sure I don't see you
Being in the same city as the ex-partner but intentionally avoiding encounters.
I hope you know that I still think about you And though it doesn't matter
Admitting continued thoughts about the ex-partner despite trying to move on.
I ain't been with anybody else since I've been without you
Stating fidelity since the breakup, emphasizing emotional struggle without the partner.
You kept showing me that you was a good girl I found ways to still doubt you
Doubting the partner's goodness despite evidence, showcasing internal conflicts.
And I don't know if you remember I told you I would come back in December
Reminding the partner of a promise to return in December and expecting improvement in life.
Things would be way smoother when I started doing better
Recounting advice from a friend to address unresolved issues in the relationship.
Then my dawg sat me down, said some things I gotta tell you
Transitioning to the friend's advice, creating a narrative shift.
He said, uh
Introducing the friend's perspective.
No one's gonna be waiting for you She's not gonna be waiting for you, no
Friend's counsel: No one will be waiting for the speaker, emphasizing the need to move forward.
No matter what you do, won't change this for you She's not gonna be waiting for you
Emphasizing the inevitability of the partner not waiting, regardless of the speaker's actions.
You might be right, maybe you're right I was just thinking things might get better
Acknowledging the possibility that things might not improve over time.
with time But when there's a war, you gotta stay there
Recognizing the need to face challenges and not escape from them.
and fight That means I gotta get her back
Deciding to fight for the relationship, expressing determination.
How the fuck I get her back?
Expressing confusion and desperation about how to win the partner back.
What's the plan for that
Seeking a plan to mend the relationship, feeling emotionally vulnerable.
I'm falling apart, tryna stay intact Told her cut me off, but I'm still attached
Struggling to maintain composure and deal with the emotional fallout of the breakup.
Maybe I should go out of my way and make a call
Considering reaching out and taking proactive steps to reconcile.
What if I do that and she don't give me no response
Contemplating the possibility of receiving no response from the partner.
She probably got a new nigga holding shit down, oh, no
Suspecting the partner might have moved on to a new relationship while the speaker is away.
What do I expect I'm out of town, I know Guess it's really over after all
Accepting the likely finality of the relationship, coming to terms with the reality.
I let go of my world, tryna go shoot for these stars
Letting go of personal aspirations to chase after a relationship that seems unattainable.
You already had your chance, and you waited this long
Realizing that the partner had an opportunity but chose not to wait.
Ain't no point to reconnect, she already moved on
Recognizing that reconnection might be futile as the partner has moved on.
Got me singing, ah
Expressing the emotional turmoil through singing.
No one's gonna be waiting for you She's not gonna be waiting for you, no
Reiterating the friend's advice that no one will be waiting for the speaker.
No matter what you do, won't change things for you
Emphasizing the inevitability of the situation, implying a lack of control over the partner's feelings.
She's not gonna be waiting for you
Concluding that the partner will not be waiting, reinforcing the theme of acceptance and moving forward.
