Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] You didn’t leave the way they do No slammed doors, no last goodbye Just quiet like the air went thin Like something changed without a sign They said you weren’t alone that night Said someone came and took your hand I knew before they said a word I knew I wouldn’t understand [Verse 2] I tried to picture what he’s like If he’s the kind you couldn’t fight The kind you don’t get to refuse The kind that always gets it right Did he speak or just appear? Did you know Him when you saw? Was it something in His voice Or something deeper than a call? [Pre-Chorus] I kept thinking I could reach you Like you were somewhere I could go Like if I just waited long enough You’d find your way back home [Chorus I waited, but you were already gone Standing where you used to be Talking like I still had time Like you were just ahead of me I waited, like I had a chance Like I could catch up if I tried But you were already somewhere else By the time I realized [Verse 3] They don’t say His name out loud Just lower voices when they speak Like saying it might make it real Like it would make me too weak I stopped asking what He wanted I stopped asking what He said Some things you don’t get answers to Some things just take instead [Bridge] I thought I’d hate Him if I could Thought I’d find a way to blame But you don’t fight what doesn’t choose And you don’t win against the same He doesn’t take, He doesn’t ask He doesn’t need a reason why And I was standing in the dark Trying to argue with goodbye [Final Chorus] I waited, but you were already gone There was nothing left to change I was calling out your name But it wouldn’t reach the same I waited, like I didn’t know Like I could still undo it somehow But you were never meant to stay And I can see that now I waited… but not anymore Not the way I did before You went where I can’t follow And I won’t ask you to [Outro]
