Ceiling cracks, I trace them
Like the lines on your palm
Clock says three in the morning
Every minute feels wrong
Your sweater on the chair back
Keeps your shape in the dark
I still set your side of the bed
Then lie awake with your ghost in my arms
I dream of you
Over and over
Like you never packed up
Never got older
I reach for your hand
Through the space that you left
Every night, every room
I dream of you
Coffee cup on the counter
Lipstick stain never fades
I talk to the empty doorway
Like you're just running late
Your message on the old phone
I press play
Then I pause, try to live in that echo
Where I still remember
Who you were
I dream of you
Over and over
Like you never packed up
Never got older
I reach for your hand
Through the space that you left
Every night, every room
I dream of you
Everybody says time heals
But they don't see these nights
You're a movie on a loop
On the inside of my eyes
If letting go means losing you
I don't know how to choose
So I keep you in the quiet
Where I can't lose you twice
I dream of you
Over and over
Like you're slipping right back
Under these covers
I whisper your name
Till it's all that I am
Every breath, every move
I dream of you
Oh, I still do
As the daylight breaks in
On the side of the truth
If waking up means
Learning life without you
Let me stay in this room
Where I dream of you
I dream of you
Shadows on the hallway rug
Coffee cup still in the sink
Your coat hangs on the same old nail
But you're not here to think
I talk to the empty chair
Set two plates then put one back
Your side of the bed stays cold
I sleep clinging to the slack
Every room remembers you
Every doorframe holds your name
I stand in the quiet air
Trying not to go insane
I lost my heart
When I lost you
These walls just echo
Everything we used to do
I walk these roads
But I'm alone
You were my shelter
Now I'm out here on my own
I lost my home
Your old keys on the kitchen shelf
Still ring when the drawer slides
I catch my reflection there
Ask her how she still survives
Streetlight spills across your notes
Half a joke and half a plan
All the future we once wrote
Snipes beneath my shaking hands
How can a house still stand
With every picture gone
How can my lungs still breathe
When every breath feels wrong
I lost my heart
When I lost you
These walls just echo
Everything we used to do
I walk these roads
But I'm alone
You were my shelter
Now I'm out here on my own
I lost my home
I'd trade every frame good day
For one more ordinary night
Sink into your tired arms
Hug you softly, turn out the light
Now I'm tracing every crack
Like a map back to your skin
But the farther that I follow
The more I feel the distance we're
Oh, lost you
Is a door I can't walk through
I scream your name
But it's just a shelter
Now I'm breaking all alone
I lost my home
You were my home
I lost my home
Come back, come back
I lost my home
You were my home
Clock on the wall
Says two in the morning
Street outside is quiet and cold
Your side of the bed stays perfectly folded
Like it's waiting for you to come home
A cup on the sink
Where you used to leave lipstick
Dust on the book that you loved
I stare at the door
Till my eyes start to sting
Like maybe you'll walk in again
Only you tonight
Echo in this empty room
Calling out your name
Like you never really moved
Every shadow
Every silence
Pulls me back to when it felt right
In a world that keeps on turning
I am stuck on
Only you tonight
I scroll through the photos
Of summer at midnight
Your hair in the wind
That shy little smile
The glow from the screen
Paints your face on the ceiling
For a second it feels like your mind
The rain taps the rhythm
On glass in the window
Slow as the tears on my face
I reach for a hand
That is miles and years away
Still swearing I'd hold you in place
Yeah, only you tonight
Echo in this empty room
Calling out your name
Like you never really moved
Every shadow
Every silence
Pulls me back to when it felt right
In a world that keeps on turning
I am stuck on
Only you tonight
If I said I was fine
I'd be lying
I'd still set a place for you here
I'd still leave the light on till morning
Like it might guide you back through the fear
Only you tonight
Echo in this empty room
Calling out your name
Like you never really moved
Every shadow
Every silence
Pulls me back to when it felt right
In a world that keeps on turning
I am stuck on
Only you tonight
Say it till the dark turns blue
Every beat inside my chest
Still belongs to you
If I'm dreaming
Let me stay here
In the memory of your eyes
Till the last note of my heart fades
Whispering
Only you tonight
Distant airy path
Barely morning
Kitchen chair
Same place
Steam fades from my cup
Like your name
From this space
I fold the days
Into little paper cranes
Line them on the windowsill
Whispering your name
I check the door
When the floorboard makes a sound
Tell myself it's nothing
But my pulse still pounds
My heart still waits
For the key in the lock
For your steps on the stairs
My heart still waits
Like a light in the dark
That you once said you'd chase
My heart still waits
I keep your mug
On the shelf above the sink
Afraid to move it
Like it keeps you here with me
Friends say let go
But they never saw your eyes
When you said I'll be back
Like it was never a goodbye
My heart still waits
For the key in the lock
For your steps on the stairs
My heart still waits
Like a light in the dark
That you once said you'd chase
My heart still waits
The strings wrap
I'm somewhere to stay
But every sunset looks like you
Fading slow, behold
Who you teach a hope to end
When every silence says pretend
They're almost home
My heart still waits
For the key in the lock
For your steps on the stairs
My heart still waits
Though the seasons have changed
And your pictures erased
My heart still waits
Oh, my heart still waits
Your coffee cup still on the shelf
Lipstick stain, a tiny self-portrait
Quiet chair pulled out halfway
Like you just stood up a moment ago
I park outside our old house
Leave the engine running in the dark
Windows glow in every room
But you're the one light
That never comes back
If you were here
I'd tell you all the words I'd say for later
If you were here
We'd turn this heavy air into a prayer
I'd hold your hand and lose my fear
Every breath would feel so clear
If you were here
I'd talk to you in the grocery aisle
I'd have you with your favorite cereal
Laugh alone at something small
And feel that sudden, awful quiet fall
Your sweater hangs behind the door
This leaf still shades around
I press my face into the wood
And pretend I hear you humming in the hall
If you were here
I'd tell you all the words I'd say for later
If you were here
We'd turn this heavy air into a prayer
I'd hold your hand and lose my fear
Every breath would feel so clear
If you were here
Would we still fight about the little things?
Or would we let them go?
Just let them fade?
I'd trade a hundred perfect days
For one more evening on that gray couch with you
If you were here
I'd tell you all the words I'd say for later
If you were here
We'd turn this heavy air into a prayer
I'd hold your hand and lose my fear
Every breath would feel so clear
If you were here
Found your smile in an old frame
Dust on glass, but your eyes still blaze
Coffee stain on the corner
Date on the back
I remember that joke
You never laughed like that
Funny how a picture
Gets harder than the day did
I'm older in the mirror
But in my mind
We're still kids
I miss us
All the late night calls and the quiet runs
Every small town street that we used to trust
Two scared hearts learning how to love
I miss us
The way you leaned when the world got rough
Now it's just my hands in this empty touch
More than you
I miss us
Found your note in a winter coat
Half a heart and a promise we wrote
Never changing your crooked pen
Guess we did
And we can't go back again
Funny how the echoes
Get louder in the silence
Your voice in the radio
Turns red lights into sirens
I miss us
All the late night talks and the quiet rush
Every small town street that we used to trust
Two scared hearts learning how to love
I miss us
The way you leaned when the world got rough
Now it's just my hands in this empty touch
More than you
I miss us
I don't miss the fights
Or the slam doors, not really
I miss the making of
How you'd breathe so easy lying on the floor
Plans on the ceiling, losing track of time
Losing all our feelings
I miss us
All the late night drives and the quiet rush
Every back road song that we turned to dust
Two scared hearts learning how to trust
I miss us
The way you'd stay when the days were tough
Now it's just my name that I try to trust
More than you
I miss us
More than you
I miss us
Quiet kitchen light, two mugs gone cold
Your sweater on the chair
Where your shadow used to fold
I still set your place
Out of habit, out of hold
Talk to empty rooms
Like you're just late coming home
Every little echo knows your name by heart
I keep trying to move on
But I circle where we are
Still loving you
Through the silence, through the distance in this room
Every heartbeat writes the same old truth
Doesn't matter what I lose
I'm still loving you
When the daylight feels too heavy
When the nights are blue
Every corner of my soul stays tuned to the memory of you
I'm still loving you
Photos in a box
But I know each one by touch
Your laughter in the hallway
How it used to be too much
I trace the lines we drew
On maps we never used
Every road that I take
Somehow leads me back to you
Tell myself it's over
But the mirror shakes its head
Your goodbye was spoken
Mine stayed quiet in my chest
Still loving you
Through the silence, through the distance in this room
Every heartbeat writes the same old truth
Doesn't matter what I lose
I'm still loving you
When the daylight feels too heavy
When the nights are blue
Every corner of my soul stays tuned to the memory of you
Yeah, I'm still loving you
On a different sunrise
I'm learning how to stay
In a life that feels like half a song
With your verse slipped away
I don't know what tomorrow
Plans to put me through
But every road I'm letting go
Still runs back to you
Still loving you
Through the silence, through the distance in this room
Every heartbeat writes the same old truth
Doesn't matter what I lose
I'm still loving you
When the daylight feels too heavy
When the nights are blue
Every corner of my soul stays tuned to the memory of you
Oh, I'm still loving you
I'm still loving you
Still loving you
Empty frame on the wall
Dust where your keys used to fall
Every sound in this house
Feels like you
Cold coffee on the table
Your side of the bed still made
I keep talking to the shadows
Like they might say your name
Some friends say I should be healing
But the quiet cuts too deep
Every night I lose the battle
To the memories I keep
I walk the same old streets
Hope your ghost won't follow me
But every step pulls me back instead
I can't move on
Every road just circles back to you
I can't move
Every sunrise feels like something you should see too
I keep trying to run
But your touch is written in my bones
I can't move on
I delete your conversations
Then I scroll them all again
Laughing at our stupid inside jokes
Crying where they end
I've repainted all the rooms
Changed the sheets and changed my hair
But every mirror, every angle
Still reflects you standing there
I tell my heart be brave
But it only knows your name
I let you go
And hold you closer still
Every road just circles back to you
Every sunrise feels like something you should see too
I keep trying to run
But your touch is written in my bones
I can't move on
I can't move
Within the ache
Distance bends the pain
But right now I take spells out your name
Your name
Every road just circles back to you
Every sunrise feels like something you should see too
I keep trying to run
But your touch is written
Lights off, I lie awake
Whole world turning
Mind just stays the same
I can't move
I left my words
Like broken glass
On the floor between us
Cutting every step you take
You packed your past
Into that midnight bag
Didn't slam the door
But the silence hurt worse than that
I replay your name in every shadow
I keep setting one more place at the table
If there's a road back through this mess I made
I'll crawl it, I'll crawl it
Come back tonight
Before this bed remembers just my side
Come back tonight
Before your coffee cup goes dry
I'll tear down every stupid wall I built to hide
Come back tonight
Your sweater's still
On the second chair
I wear it sometimes
Just to breathe your air
I found your note
Folded in the drawer
You said love me honest
I should've read it more
If you call right now I'd leave it all
Every empty promise
Every bitter word I threw at the wall
If there's a way to turn this hurt to grace
I'll find it, I'll find it
Come back tonight
Before this bed remembers just my side
Come back tonight
Before your coffee cup goes dry
I'll tear down every stupid wall I built to hide
Come back tonight
I'm not asking you to forget
I'm asking you to see me change
Give me every shattered piece
I'll hold them, I'll hold them through the pain
If your heart's half open, that's enough
I'll meet you in the middle of our worst and our best love
Come back tonight
Before this bed remembers just my side
Come back tonight
Before your coffee cup goes dry
I'll tear down every stupid wall I built to hide
Come back tonight
I'll say I'm sorry till the morning light
Come back tonight
Let's turn this goodbye into one more try
If you're standing at the door, leave it open
Why tonight?
Come back tonight
You left your sweater on my chair
Coffee stain and a strand of hair
Sunday sun on the kitchen floor
You said forever, then closed the door
I still keep your note in the drawer
The one that said you wanted more
Some nights I read it line by line
Try and learn where I crossed the line
I still choose you
Through every broken promise, every bruise
Through all the midnight crying in this room
If every road keeps leading back to truth
I still choose you
Your mother called me in the fall
Said you've been hiding from it all
I heard your silence down on the wire
Every pause another fire
I could have cursed your trembling name
Turned our love into a bitter flame
But every scar you caused in me
Spells out the word family
I still choose you
Through every broken promise, every bruise
If every road keeps leading back to truth
I still choose you
I'll choose you
Maybe we're shattered, maybe we're stained
Maybe we're standing in the pouring rain
But if your hand reached out in the dark
I'd give you back my fragile heart
I still choose you
Through every broken promise, every bruise
Through all the midnight crying in this room
If every road keeps leading back to truth
I still choose you
