Sleepless Night

There was smoke in the air and a song playing low

I almost didn’t go out that night

You were leaning against the bar like you’d been there before

Like you’d been waiting your whole life

You said “stay” like it wasn’t a word

More like a door opening wide

We talked ‘til the sky turned silver and hurt

And I forgot how to hide

I don’t know what you saw in me

But you looked like you believed

Like loving me was easy

We stayed up talking ‘til the sunrise

Like the world wasn’t gonna change

Like we had time on our side

Like love wasn’t something that fades

Now I lie awake in the quiet

Replaying the look in your eyes

How did something so right

Turn into just “goodbye”?

I still hear your laugh in the back of my mind

It shows up when I’m alone

You had a way of holding my hand

Like it was already home

And I tried to be brave when you pulled away

Like distance was something I’d survive

But some nights it feels like I’m still that girl

Watching you walk outside

I don’t know where you are tonight

If you ever think of me

If you miss what we used to be

We stayed up talking ‘til the sunrise

Like forever was in the room

Like we weren’t just passing time

Like I wouldn’t lose you too

Now I trace back every moment

Wonder where we went wrong

How does a love that felt so strong

Turn into moving on?

I sent you love in the silence

Hoped somehow you would feel it

There’s a space in my chest where you are

And I don’t know how to heal it

Maybe some stories don’t finish

Maybe they just pause in the dark

But you’ll always be the night

That rewrote my heart

We stayed up talking ‘til the sunrise

And I still see that light

In every almost, every what-if

Every lonely night

If you ever find your way back

I’ll be right where we began

Still holding the memory

Of the night we didn’t sleep again
