Verse 1
The nights are colder than they used to be
And the hardest part now is learning how to bleed.
The truth runs faster, yeah, it knows my face
But you’re nowhere near, just an empty space.
I walk past all the places we used to be
And it feels like the walls just stare at me.
Your picture’s facedown on the table tonight,
Tried drowning you in all these whiskey nights.
Chorus
If missing you was a crime, I’d be locked away— ( locked away)
Serving time for every memory I can’t escape.
I said I’d let you go, said I’d finally heal,
But every night proves every lie I feel.
I’m still burning without the right to shine—
Still yours in ways that were never mine.
( you where never mine )
Verse 2
If forgetting is freedom, then why’s it so hard
To unlock the cage welded around my heart
I find your traces in the smallest things—
why do love leave when its so damn deep
Why does every empty room feels like you can see.
How did you slip away like a stolen flame—
I’d give anything to hear you say my name. ( to hear you say my name)
Chorus
If missing you was a crime, I’d be locked away— ( away)
Serving time for every memory I can’t escape.
I said I’d let you go, said I’d finally heal,
But every night proves every lie I feel.
I’m still burning without the right to shine—
Still yours in ways that were never mine.
( you where never mine )
Bridge
I’ve learned the taste of lonely again
Heard your footsteps, but it’s my memory instead.
Maybe I was the storm
And you were the calm
And I tore apart the place where we belonged.
( the place where we belonged)
Chorus
If missing you was a crime, I’d be locked away— ( away)
Serving time for every memory I can’t escape.
I said I’d let you go, said I’d finally heal,
But every night proves every lie I feel.
I’m still burning without the right to shine—
Still yours in ways that were never mine.
( you where never mine )
