(Soft piano chords fading in)
(Whispered) Masauko...
The silence is the loudest sound tonight.
The coffee's getting cold in your favorite cup
I keep staring at the door, hoping you'll show up
The world is spinning but I’m standing still
Watching the shadows dance against the sill
Every corner of this house remembers your name
Without you here, nothing feels the same
I try to breathe, but the air is thin
Waiting for the moment that you walk back in.
Oh Masauko, the world feels empty without you
I’m lost in the gray, just searching for a clue
I need to tell you that I love you so much
I’m starving for the comfort of your gentle touch
You made my world a better place to be
Now there’s nothing left but this memory
I miss you, oh I miss you so deep inside
I just want you forever by my side.
I dream of mornings waking up to your face
Finding my home within your warm embrace
I see a future where we’re building a life
Beyond the struggle and beyond the strife
I want to have children, to see your eyes in them
To write our story like a beautiful gem
But the reality hits like a winter chill
I’m craving your love, and I guess I always will.
Oh Masauko, the world feels empty without you
I’m lost in the gray, just searching for a clue
I need to tell you that I love you so much
I’m starving for the comfort of your gentle touch
You made my world a better place to be
Now there’s nothing left but this memory
I miss you, oh I miss you so deep inside
I just want you forever by my side.
Is it too late to bridge the space between us?
Can we find the spark that used to mean so much?
I’m holding on to fragments, I’m holding on to hope
Trying to climb this mountain, trying to find the rope
I’m calling your name through the hollow halls
Just waiting for an answer before the darkness falls.
Oh Masauko, the world feels empty without you
I’m lost in the gray, just searching for a clue
I need to tell you that I love you so much
I’m starving for the comfort of your gentle touch
You made my world a better place to be
Now there’s nothing left but this memory
I miss you, oh I miss you so deep inside
I just want you forever by my side.
I just want you by my side...
Our dreams, our home, our life.
Masauko, can you hear me?
(Piano fades out slowly)
I’m still waiting.
I’m still here.
