Song 2: "Lost in the Waiting" (Rap Version)
Intro (Soft piano, steady beat builds up)
(Spoken)
This is a story of love gone cold,
Of dreams untold, and the weight of the soul.

Verse 1
Waited at the table, clock ticked slow,
Cold dinner sittin’, no place to go.
Your plate stayed empty, seat stayed bare,
I sat in the silence like you weren’t there.

I raised the kids, played my role,
Held the line, but it’s takin’ a toll.
Every day, it’s the same old grind,
While love turns to labor, peace I can’t find.

Hook (Sung with emotion)
Did you stop to see my face?
See the man you can’t replace?
Chased the sun, you left me here,
Fading love, drowning in fear.
Love’s not words, it’s what you give,
But you forgot the life we live.

Verse 2
Your smile belongs to the crowd, not me,
While I’m at home just tryna be free.
Sundays lost to a holy game,
But we lost our spark, it’s not the same.

The kids grow up, they see it too,
A father tryin’ to hold the glue.
I waited, yeah, I stayed so strong,
But this love’s been dying all along.

Hook (Sung with emotion)
Did you stop to see my face?
See the man you can’t replace?
Chased the sun, you left me here,
Fading love, drowning in fear.
Love’s not words, it’s what you give,
But you forgot the life we live.

Bridge (Spoken over soft beat)
If I was your world, you’d make it right,
But I’m here alone every single night.
I’m angry, yeah, but that’s the mask,
Underneath is a man afraid to ask.

Outro (Melodic fade-out)
Lost in the waiting, I paid the cost,
A love so pure, but now it’s lost.
The dreams we built, the vows we swore,
Left me broken on the floor.
