No One's Coming

Can't let you go
You said you'd be there beside me
Ups and the downs, you'll be there for the ride
But you lied, see you left and you ain't say goodbye
Now I'm stuck here just waiting for you to walk back inside

You said there's no one but us two I can't let you go
Now I know that I love you
And you ain't gon' leave not as long as there's breath in my lungs
Know your name on my tongue
It tastes like sulfur and honey
And ain't nothing funny, no not anymore
I'm begging you baby, just walk in the door
One look would've brought me to drop to the floor
But I can't let you go

You were all I ever wanted and some more
But I can't stay here till you walk back in the door
Now you're gone and I can't talk to you no more
And still I'm sat here staring at this broken door
And no one's coming
You said I'm not who you thought I was
All I can say is I thought that was obvious
I could've promised you all but the consequences
I wasn't done but I followed the processes
All of the swallows and all of the crows
All of the prophecies, I can't control
The heart and the soul, It gets harder to hold
When you're swallowing stones but if I let it go
Then it might not come back around

You were all I ever wanted and some more
But I can't stay here till you walk back in the door
Now you're gone and I can't talk to you no more
And still I'm sat here staring at this broken door
And no one's coming

And bad mistakes, I've made a few
I can't see straight, but I ain't mad at you
Yeah, I know it's painful, it's ungrateful But you can't go back and lose

You said so much I'm afraid to forget it
I thought I had time to kill
I can't regret every second I spent away more
I hit the floor and I'm not going lower, no
Nothing I do will dishonor your name
Nothing I knew could've softened the pain
Nothing but you could fulfill me
Nothing could kill me
Nothing but you could bring God to my face

Stormy always believed that life is not about how fast you run or with what degree of grace
That this life is a boot camp, that we must persevere through all the obstacles and hardships to earn our way into the next life
To be with her again, I will have the perseverance of a bulldog
But sometimes, it seems to me, the training is unnecessarily painful

You were all I ever wanted and some more
But I can't stay here till you walk back in the door
Now you're gone and I can't talk to you no more
And still I'm sat here staring at this broken door
And no one's coming

And bad mistakes, I've made a few
I can't see straight, but I ain't mad at you
Yeah, I know it's painful, it's ungrateful But you can't go back and lose

If I live an average lifespan, I'll have another 60 years before I see Stormy again
That would be a long wait
But I'm a patient man, and I have much to do
