I want to hear from you (but I don’t)

Title: I Want to Hear from You (But I Don’t)

Verse 1

I still scroll through the names on my phone,

Hoping yours might light up when I’m alone.

But I ain’t brave enough to ask where you’ve been,

‘Cause I know how that story ends again.

Pre-Chorus

We had our time, we had our fight,

We burned too fast, too hot, too bright.

And I keep learning what goodbye means,

One heartbeat at a time, between the dreams.

Chorus

I wanna hear from you, but I don’t,

Wanna see your name, but I won’t.

I wanna feel your kiss again,

But I’d just fall apart where we’ve been.

It breaks my heart, and it’s okay —

Love don’t always get to stay.

I’m happy for you, even when it hurts,

And I’m dying slow inside each word.

Verse 2

I saw you smiling in some new town light,

Living the dream we talked about some nights.

And I swear my chest caved in with pride,

And a little pain I couldn’t hide.

Bridge

Maybe we were just a spark,

To light each other through the dark.

And now it’s time to let it be,

You got your wings — I’ll learn to breathe.

Chorus (Reprise)

I wanna hear from you, but I don’t,

I wanna see your face, but I won’t.

I long to hold you one last time,

But I’m happier watching you shine.

Yeah, it breaks my heart, and that’s okay —

We both found love along the way.

You’re gone, but you’re never gone too far,

You still live somewhere in my heart.
