LYRICS

i've listened to you for a time unending
now the sound of your words
i hear them bending

i lie and watch the lights cross the ceiling
focus upon the words you're concealing
and all i think about is how dark it is here

i thought i was wise, made my choice and stayed with it
but decisions made
don't seem to want to fit

now the smell on your clothes
is all i can call mine
and i lie in your bed
alone at your side

how long will i be left here waiting
believing in a sliver of the real you
how long will i be left here waiting
believing in a sliver of the real you

the steadiness i hear in your breathing
adds to my confidence in my feelings
why can't i go

i feel my blood run slower each day and
a time will come you'll give what i've prayed for
how can i sit and watch as it all falls down

the face you wear alludes to an array
of thoughts you've tried so hard not to display
my eyes are closed

how long will i be left here waiting
believing in a sliver of the real you
how long will i be left here waiting
believing in a sliver of the real you
how long will i
