[Verse 1

We set your plate at the table each night,

In case you walk through that door tonight.

Your room is clean, your books in line,

I keep them safe, as if you're still mine.

[Bridge

Years have passed, but the pain stays near,

The world moved on, but you're still here.

In every shadow, I see your face,

In every silence, I feel your space.

[Chorus

We’re still waiting, holding on tight,

For the day you’ll return and make this right.

Though the world may forget your name,

In this house, your memory remains.

[Verse 2

Your father hides his tears in the dark,

He blames himself, though it wasn’t his mark.

I read your books and hold them close,

In every word, I find a ghost.

[Chorus

We’re still waiting, holding on tight,

For the day you’ll return and make this right.

Though the world may forget your name,

In this house, your memory remains.

[Outro

If you hear me, wherever you are,

Know we love you, no matter how far.

This door stays open, this light still burns,

We’ll wait forever, for your return.
