Wait by Powderpaint

we did not expect
to see each other there
you lingered by the door
i wondered if you cared

ignoring my friends' protest
took your wrist and led
you to stretch on the sofa
i sat on the edge

said you don't want to hear it
i said that's all right
but i have got to say it
then i'll say goodbye

it's cold and i know
there's so little hope
but still i can't turn away
not today
if you remember i'll be here
i'll always wait

i still think of the noises
that fell out your mouth
the truth that i'd avoided
words are only sounds

tonight your eyes are dead
so i stare past your face
cos i've already said this
in a thousand ways

see how my body's frozen
my tongue turned to steel
because you hurt me more
than i thought i could feel
