[Instrumental intro]
[spoken words]
“some things are just better left unsaid. Just left in my midnight confessions.”
[Verse 1]
I hear your footsteps in the hallway glow
Quiet little secrets that you’ll never know
Each echo lands like a prayer I despise
As you pass me by, never meeting my eyes
Your shadow floats just out of my fingers reach
While Your laughter sings, but not for me.
You smile like a morning dawn in a stranger’s sky
And I pretend you’re mine while I continue to live this lie
[Pre-Chorus]
You move through my mind like a melody so faded, so jaded.
I swallow back the truth, it’s too heavy to say it
[Chorus]
So I whisper after midnight
Confessions the daylight I can’t force to write
So I tell the stars that I love you
Though you’re miles and lifetimes out of my view
That gold ring you wear says I missed the all signs
And that You were never meant to be mine
So I wrap this ache in a fragile rhyme
And pretend again that I’m doing fine.
[Verse 2]
I stumble through the mornings, lost in the gray
Your voice in the wind steals my breath away
As You pass by me, but we never collide
And I drown in the scent of the dreams in which I try hide
I picture a world where the lines erased
Where time gave us one moment, in just one space
Wicked fate had your song written in someone else’s key
And you’ll never know exactly how much you mean to me.
[Pre-Chorus]
So I let the silence take your place
My hands still reaching for your beautiful face
[Chorus]
And I whisper after midnight
What my heart won’t say in the harsh daylight.
I love you that I say in the secret behind goodbyes.
Behind careful smiles and practiced lies
That gold ring shines like a red warning light
Telling me I’ve already lost this fight
So I fold my hands, lower my head, and dim my light
As I whisper to you… I love you…
[spoken word-clear]
“Goodnight”
[instrumental break solo]
[spoken word. Clearly]
Woo.
“Why can’t I just tell you how I feel?”
[Bridge]
If I could rewind to the day we met
Would I choose peace or carry this heavy regret?
Would I still ache for what couldn’t be?
Or I can finally set both of us free?
[Final Chorus]
In my whispers after midnight
I bleed the words that never sounded right
I loved you so deeply for a love so unknown
We belonged together, yet standing alone.
But mine still lingers in a distant phone booth
Where echoes fade and midnight soothes.
A heart with nothing left to really lose
Just whispers after midnight, fading with the light
I love you… and now
[spoken softly, natural,clear]
“goodnight”
[instrumental outro with fade out]
