Wait and See

Groove It

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I chased the light until it died
Built my future on a lie
Every plan I made turned cold
Now I’m left with what I sold

[Pre-Chorus]
Pages burn, the hours fade
I drown in all the mess I made
Still I’m standing, barely whole
Just the ashes of control

[Chorus]
All my dreams broke under me
Crushed by my own gravity
I gave it all, but lost my flame
Now I’m tired of this game
Every promise, every fight
Falling apart in sleepless nights

[Verse 2]
The walls are close, the noise too loud
I wear a smile to please the crowd
But in my head, the silence screams
Nothing’s left of what I dreamed

[Bridge]
I used to burn, I used to rise
Now I just watch the fire die
Maybe tomorrow I’ll rebuild
But tonight I can’t, I’m still

[Chorus – Final]
All my dreams broke under me
Crushed by my own gravity
I gave it all, but lost my flame
And I’ve got no one else to blame
Let it rain, let it freeze
Dreams don’t bleed — they just leave
