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
