Remain

I've listened to you for a time unending
 Now the sound of your words
 I hear them bending
 I lie and watch the lights cross the ceiling
 Focus upon the words you're concealing
 And all I think about is how dark it is here
 I thought I was wise
 Made my choice and stayed with it
 But decisions made
 Don't seem to want to fit
 Now the smell on your clothes
 Is all I can call mine
 And I lie in your bed
 Alone at your side
 How long will I be left here waiting
 Believing in a sliver of the real you?
 How long will I be left here waiting
 Believing in a sliver of the real you?
 The steadiness I hear in your breathing
 Adds to my confidence in my feelings
 Why can't I go
 I feel my blood run slower each day and
 A time will come you'll give what I've prayed for
 How can I sit and watch as it all falls down
 The face you wear alludes to an array
 Of thoughts you've tried so hard not to display
 My eyes are closed
 How long will I be left here waiting
 Believing in a sliver of the real you?
 How long will I be left here waiting
 Believing in a sliver of the real you?
 How long will I?
