The clock on the wall, a ticking heart of dread
Each second a hammer blow inside my head
Your suitcase by the door, a silent, cold decree
And every breath I take, it steals a piece of me

I trace the lines upon your sleeping face
Searching for a sign, a hint of saving grace
But all I find is distance, a chasm growing wide
This hollow ache, nowhere left to hide

Oh, I'm waiting, baby, just waiting for you to go
This agonizing suspense, a torment I know
My mind's a battlefield, a war I can't command
As I waited for you to go, I'm losing who I am

The coffee's gone cold, the morning light is grey
Familiar rooms now echo with what you'll take away
Your perfume in the air, a ghost I can't erase
Leaving me adrift in this empty, lonely space

I replay our words, the arguments we had
Trying to find the moment where it all went bad
But hindsight's a cruel trick, a mirror I can't face
Lost in this unbearable, agonizing pace

Oh, I'm waiting, baby, just waiting for you to go
This agonizing suspense, a torment I know
My mind's a battlefield, a war I can't command
As I waited for you to go, I'm losing who I am

Is this the end? The final, spoken word?
A silence that's louder than any I have heard
My nerves are frayed, my spirit's worn so thin
Just let the chapter close, let this begin… or end

Oh, I'm waiting, baby, just waiting for you to go!
This agonizing suspense, a torment I know!
My mind's a battlefield, a war I can't command!
As I waited for you to go, I'm losing who I am!

Waiting… for you to go…

Who I am…
