the wait

(Verse 1)
It's been months since I last saw your face,
spring came and went, but it didn't feel the same
I walked past the cafe where we used to meet
pretending it didn't hurt to see the empty seat
I tell everyone I'm over you,
but even the lies feel tired now.
Tell me how can I lie
if your name still lingers on my mind
(Chorus)
And I hate how I'm still waiting,
even when I swear I won't.
I hate that I wait to hear your voice
in a call in the middle of the night.
I hope that even if you're drunk, you'll pick up the phone
Saying “I still love you.
But you never do.
So I just wait.
(Verse 2)
I scroll through old photos,
your smile feels like a stranger’s now.
You probably don’t even remember
the way you laughed at my stupid jokes.
And I tell myself,
“You wouldn’t want him back."
But my heart doesn’t care for logic,
it only knows how to ache.
(Chorus)
And I hate how I'm still waiting,
even when I swear I won't
I hate waiting for a call from you
Even though you made it clear I wasn’t wanted.
and it's pathetic I know,
but I still have that little hope
That maybe you miss me too.
But it's not true.
So I just wait.
