Waitingand Still Waiting

Everyday, I try harder and harder
Trying to hold onto what we might have left
Everyday I fall in deeper and deeper
Into a pile of emptiness without a hand to hold

You don't know how many tears I've whipped away
Or how many days I've gone off feeling that this hole can't be filled
I tried replacing that empty gap with something else
But it grows bigger with every step I take

I've never felt so lost before
A step I'm taking with a blindfold on
Not sure were that step is going to lead me
But how can you sit there and not help guide my way

Here I am kidding to myself everyday
That it's all going to be alright
Telling myself lies that it's all going to over by the next day
But I catch myself here
Waiting again, for that next day to come

Waiting in silence
Waiting in separate pieces
Waiting to be one whole again
Waiting until I can move again
