[English]

I Built Our Home With Bleeding Hands

Laid Each Brick With Love And Plans

You Were My Light My Reason Why

Now I Just Talk To An Empty Sky

I’m Still Waiting At The Door

Where Your Laughter Lived Before

Every Night I Whisper Low

Come Back Home Don't Let Me Go

But Silence Is All I Know

You Wore Your Cap I Fixed Ur Tie

Watched You Chase Your Dreams And Fly

I Gave You Wings I Stayed Behind

But Now You’re Gone And So Is Time

I’m Still Waiting At The Door

Where Your Footsteps Touch The Floor

Even Pain Begins To Fade

But The Love It Always Stays

Still Alone Still Afraid

I Don’t Need Much Just One More Day

To Hear You Call To Hear You Say

That I Remember Who You Are

But Wishes Don’t Go That Far

So I Sing Here On This Stage

Old And Tired Full Of Ache

Not For Gold Not For Fame

Just To Call Out Your Name

Still Waiting Still The Same
