“No Letter Came”

Verse 1
I know the sound of every step outside
The hallway breathes, the door stays quiet
The light from the street falls on my face
Like it’s asking me why I still wait

Cold glass, my hands are shaking
Snow keeps falling, I’m not praying
I told myself: “just one more day”
But hope’s the slowest thing to break

Pre-Chorus
I made excuses just to survive
Turned your silence into a lie

Chorus
I waited by the window
Like you were running late
I held my breath for words
That you never wrote to say
No letter came
Just your name
Echoing inside my veins
I waited by the window
But love… never came

Verse 2
I wrote replies you’d never read
Spoke to shadows in my head
I kept your absence warm at night
Like it was love, not just goodbye

They say “time heals”, but time just stares
Watching me pretend you care
If loving you was my mistake
Then waiting was the price I paid

Pre-Chorus
I guarded your empty space
Like it could still be replaced

Chorus
I waited by the window
Like you were running late
I listened for your heart
In every step that passed away
No letter came
Just the rain
Writing truths I tried to erase
I waited by the window
But love… never came

Bridge
Maybe you found heaven somewhere else
Maybe I was just a chapter on your shelf
I kept the door unlocked, the light still on
But silence said: “You’ve waited long enough”

Final Chorus (soft → strong)
I waited by the window
Till waiting broke my name
I learned that no reply
Is still an answer, just in pain
No letter came
And I changed
Left my hope out in the rain
I closed the window
And finally…
I walked away

Outro
Still, sometimes when it snows
I swear the wind still knows
I was the girl who waited
For a letter…
That never came
