(Intro)
I miss you...
(Verse 1)
I can't trust my voice to speak
I can't trust my heart to beat
Every time the phone lights up with your name
It’s a different kind of torture, a different kind of game.
I type a generic answer, I say that I’m okay
But I’m dying on the inside, fighting through the day.
Every time I see your face inside my mind
I try hard not to cry, try to leave it all behind.
(Chorus)
My heart aches, my eyes burn
Try so hard to keep it in, to never let you learn
That all the promises you once made
Now, they're turning into ashes
Just like my smile faded away.
Yeah, it’s a cruel and twisted irony, a bitter little lie
You were my only reason to smile
Now you're what makes me cry.
(Verse 2)
Long midnight conversations
Turned now into a dream
We talk about our pasts, our insecurities
But we never talk about the space between the lines
Or how I’m breaking down while I say that I’m fine.
We’re so close to the edge, but we never took the leap
Now I’m talking to a ghost that I promised I would keep.
(Bridge)
And the hardest part of all this hell
Is knowing that you don't really feel the same, I know it too well.
But I’m terrified to listen, terrified to feel
Not to hear you say to me
'I love you, babe', and have it real.
Because it isn't real, we’re just drifting in the dark
Then why do you still hold the only matches to my spark?
(Chorus)
My heart aches, my eyes burn
Try so hard to keep it in, will I ever learn?
All the promises you once made
Now, they're turning into ashes
Just like my smile faded away.
Yeah, it’s a cruel and twisted irony, a bitter little lie
You were my only reason to smile
Now you're what makes me cry.
(Outro)
Now you're what makes me cry.
Turning into ashes...
(Spoken/Whispered)
I miss you...
