[Verse 1]
Woke up to the quiet, your voice still in my head,
Coffee’s getting colder where you used to sit instead.
Every little echo reminds me you’re not here,
I talk to the air, but it’s silence I hear.
[Pre-Chorus]
I replay every moment, like I’m stuck on repeat,
Tryna hold the memories that slip under my feet.
[Chorus]
The day came and it missed you —
guess it always will.
I’m still waiting to see you,
can’t believe it’s real.
These days tear like paper,
I’m broken to the core.
Took the long way home again,
just to feel you once more.
[Verse 2]
I drive past the park bench, the one where we first kissed,
The rain starts to fall — even heaven knows you’re missed.
I trace your name on foggy glass, it fades before my eyes,
Just like the way the sunset hides behind the sighs.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I swear I feel your shadow every step I take,
But the harder that I chase it, the more my heart breaks.
[Chorus]
The day came and it missed you —
guess it always will.
I’m still waiting to see you,
can’t believe it’s real.
These days tear like paper,
I’m broken to the core.
Took the long way home again,
just to feel you once more.
[Bridge]
If time could bend, I’d go back to then,
To hear your laugh just once again.
But all I have are empty hands,
and echoes in the wind.
[Final Chorus]
The day came and it missed you —
guess it always will.
I’m still waiting to see you,
and I think I always will.
These days tear like paper,
I’m torn down to the core.
Took the long way home again,
but you’re not there anymore.
[Outro]
Yeah, I took the long way home again…
just to feel you once more.
