(Intro: A slow, melancholic cello pulls the listener into deep sadness, followed by the haunting, piercing notes of an erhu. The sound of waves crashes softly against the background.)

(Verse 1)
The cliffside wind, it tangles my hair
You smile and reach out, with a loving stare
Then you push me, right off the edge, without a care
In that fleeting second, I'm suspended in the air
Thinking it’s a game, a lovers' playful dare
I can’t swim, and now the water’s there

(Chorus 1)
I'm waiting... I just keep waiting...
Cold ocean water, it rises to my eyes
The sense of drowning, a brutal, dark surprise
I fight to keep them open, looking up for your replies
But refracted through the light, a blur that multiplies
By your side, there's another, the reason for my demise

(Verse 2)
Bubbles are rising, my heart is sinking low
In this saline grave, a bitter smile, a final show
So this is the answer, the reason for the blow
A calculated end, letting our story go
The scream for help I planned, a performance you already know
You don't even reach out, just watching me go below

(Bridge)
Why didn't you speak? If you had only said a word
I would have set you free, like a captured bird
To follow the new love, the one you have preferred
I believed in your kindness, a truth I never questioned nor stirred
Now I can’t comprehend, the depths of cruelty I’ve incurred
Did you need my life, to have the future you’ve conjured?

(Chorus 2)
I'm waiting... I’m no longer waiting...
The light is fading, the surface is too far
My struggle is over, no matter where you are
Left with the image of you, a permanent scar
Your new beginning, a star that’s too bizarre
A love built on my wreckage, from where you really are

(Outro)
The water gets cold, the silent abyss
A final memory, a deadly, final kiss
The thought of you, the thought of this...
Left with nothing... only this... only this...

(The cello fades into a deep, low rumble, the erhu lingers with one last, fragile, fading note.)
