[Verse 1]
It’s 2 AM again
Your name lights up my phone
But it’s just old threads
Scrolling through “goodnight
Bub”
I hear you laugh inside my head
I still park outside your street
Engine off
Just staring at your door
Talking like you’re in the seat
Saying all the words I should’ve said before
[Chorus]
Emma
My baby
My bub
My once in a lifetime
I lost you
But my heart still wears your name
I’m learning how to love you from the sidelines
Cheering for your joy through every ache and flame
If you never come back
I still thank the stars above
For every day I got to be the one you loved
[Verse 2]
Your sweater in my drawer
Still smells like that cheap perfume you swore you’d change
Your mug on my top shelf
I move it
Then I put it back the same
I still set two plates out
Then laugh at myself
But I leave them there
I talk into the quiet
Like you’re in the kitchen
Tying up your hair
[Chorus]
Emma
My baby
My bub
My once in a lifetime
I lost you
But my heart still wears your name
I’m learning how to love you from the sidelines
Cheering for your joy through every ache and flame
If you never come back
I still thank the stars above
For every day I got to be the one you loved
[Bridge]
If he holds you closer
I hope he knows he’s holding gold
If you ever need a shoulder
You still have mine
Just say hello (just say hello)
I’ll carry what we were
In the quiet
In the blue
This love doesn’t disappear
It just changes how it moves
[Chorus]
Emma
My baby
My bub
My once in a lifetime
I lost you
But my heart still wears your name
I’m learning how to love you from the sidelines
Cheering for your joy through every ache and flame
Wherever you are now
I’m sending all my love
Hoping every road you walk leads you to enough
Emma
My baby
My bub
My heart still lifts you up
I’m grateful for the years I got to call you love
