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
