I was waiting For you to notice I was gone I was waiting For you to notice I was gone I pulled my presence back one piece at a time Left the conversation hanging on a half-rhyme The replies got shorter the energy dropped You kept filling the quiet like nothing had stopped I made myself smaller until I wasn't there You never once looked up from your own air I was waiting for you to notice I was gone I was waiting for you to notice I was gone Took my space back and left the seat cold You kept talking like I was still in the hold I was waiting for you to notice I was gone I was waiting For you to notice I was gone I was waiting For you to notice I was gone I stopped showing up the way I used to arrive Thought the absence itself would keep me alive Counted the days I was already halfway out You treated the gap like a temporary drought I faded on purpose to see if you'd feel The weight of the missing the lack of the real The silence got louder you never tuned in I was already gone and you still didn't begin I was waiting for you to notice I was gone I was waiting for you to notice I was gone Took my space back and left the seat cold You kept talking like I was still in the hold I was waiting for you to notice I was gone I was waiting for you to notice I was gone I was waiting for you to notice I was gone I was waiting for you to notice I was gone I was waiting for you to notice I was gone Waiting for you To notice I was gone Waiting for you To notice I was gone
