[Verse 1]
I kept your name in the hem of my years
like a folded note
I watched your shadow cross every doorway
and called it hope

You wore that smile like it knew my face
like it came home first
I saved you a seat in my little heart
you left me with thirst

[Pre-Chorus]
Something in the way you touched my hand
And in the way you stood
Should’ve told me that you were too nice
Too perfect to be good

[Chorus]
I waited years for you
but you came back wrong
I waited years for you
now the spark is gone

You were my maybe
my always, my almost prayer
I waited years for you
but you weren't there

[Verse 2]
You read the room before you read my face
you weigh each word you say
You fall for names that open doors
and where they lead the way

You want a woman who won't ask why
who won't look close
But I see the cost in your polished lies
in your velvet pose

[Pre-Chorus]
And I gave you room, I gave you grace
I gave you the good part
You gave me a smile from a locked-up chest
and a calculator heart

[Chorus]
I waited years for you
but you came back wrong
I waited years for you
now the spark is gone

You were my maybe
my always, my almost prayer
I waited years for you
but you weren't there

[Bridge]
I don't hate the girl
who kept the dream alive
she was starving for a song
But I won't wear gold
just to hide the rust
where your love went wrong

[Final Chorus]
I waited years for you
but you came back wrong
I waited years for you
now the spark is gone

You were my maybe
my always, my almost prayer
I waited years for you
but you weren't there

[Outro]
I waited years for you
now I see it clear
I wasted years on you
should’ve let you disappear
