The night is long and cold again,
The stars have lost their glow.
I wait for dawn that never comes,
With nowhere left to go.
I talk to shadows on the wall,
They answer like the past.
Every echo sounds like you—
A voice that couldn’t last.
Until the light, I’ll stay right here,
Among the ghosts of all my fears.
If morning comes, I’ll fade away,
And leave my heart where darkness lay.
The candle flickers, burns too low,
It trembles like my hands.
I hold the dark and call it home,
Where no one understands.
If hope’s a lie, I’ll still believe,
Because it sounds like you.
And even if the night won’t end,
I’ll wait the whole way through.
Until the light, I’ll whisper slow,
To every dream I used to know.
And when the dawn forgets my name,
I’ll love you just the same.
