You say you miss me in the midnight hour
Now the silence finally got too loud
But where was all that broken honesty
When you were showing off to that crowd
You walked away like love was cheap
Like everything we built was small
Just to brag you had another body
Like that meant something at all
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Now your voice shakes on the phone
Saying you’re tired of being alone
But where was all that desperate need
When you were letting go of me
⸻
Chorus
Oh now you need me
Now the thrill is gone
Now the empty bed
Is where the truth comes from
Now you’re calling my name
Like I’m the air you breathe
But before tonight
I was easy to leave.
You threw away a loyal heart
Just to prove you could score
Traded something real
For a night with a whore.
⸻
Verse 2
Did it make you feel like a bigger man
Walking through that cheap parade
Did the laughter drown the memories
Of every promise that you made
Because I remember every scar
Every night you leaned on me
But you burned the only bridge you had
For a moment of vanity
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Now regret sits on your chest
Like a weight you can’t outrun
Funny how the love you lost
Is the thing you’re begging from
⸻
Powerhouse Bridge (crowd goes silent)
One day
you’ll tell the story different
You’ll say I slipped away
But the truth…
The truth is you threw me away.
For a laugh
For a drink
For a name you won’t remember
You traded forever
For a moment that ended
And the saddest part of all…
Is you knew what I was worth
while you were losing me.
⸻
Final Chorus
Now you need me
Now your world’s gone cold
Now you’re reaching back
For the hands you used to hold
But love don’t grow again
Where respect was ignored
You burned down a kingdom
For a night you can’t afford.
Now you’re staring at the ashes
Of the life you let go
And the woman you betrayed…
Is the one you’ll never
have again
