I tried to close your message…

I couldn’t…

⸻

(Chorus – soft, breaking)

I still see your name when I close my eyes

Still hear your laugh in the quiet nights

Phone in my hand but it don’t feel right

‘Cause you ain’t there on the other side

From your touch… to an empty space

I still feel your hands on my face

If I could go back… I’d change that night

Now I’m alone with the truth and lies

⸻

(Verse 1)

Started with a Snap, I was scared to speak

Thumb shaking bad, heart skipping beats

Seen you on that bike, wind in your hair

Didn’t know I’d end up wishing I was there

I said “can you teach me?” you said “yeah, I can”

Didn’t know I’d fall, didn’t understand

You told me don’t feel, don’t go that far

Now I’m sitting here not knowing who you are

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

Late night calls while I’m working alone

You felt like peace through a broken phone

Every “goodnight” felt real and true

Now it’s just silence… and missing you

⸻

(Chorus – stronger)

I still see your name when I close my eyes

Still hear your voice in the dead of night

Phone in my hand but it don’t feel right

‘Cause you ain’t there on the other side

From your love… to this hollow place

I still feel tears run down my face

If I could go back… I’d change that night

Now I’m alone with the truth and lies

⸻

(Verse 2)

That night I was driving, lost in my mind

Racing somebody, leaving sense behind

Crash hit hard, everything went still

I should’ve died… but I’m living still

I texted you lies, said it wasn’t me

Said someone cut me off so you wouldn’t leave

I was scared of losing what I finally found

Didn’t know that lie would burn it down

⸻

(Verse 3)

Flew out from Texas just chasing your light

Kodak felt warm when I saw you that night

You walked up slow, gave me that hug

And for a second I ain’t feel messed up

I kissed you right there, couldn’t hold it back

Felt like my life finally got on track

We drove all around, found that place

Now I just dream about your face

Balcony nights, Twisted Tea in our hands

My arms around you like I had a chance

Ordered some pizza, laughing in bed

Now it’s just memories stuck in my head

⸻

(Bridge – voice cracking)

Whole week passed… I couldn’t lie

Every time you smiled I felt something die

So I told you the truth… barely could speak

Said “I was racing”… felt my heart leak

You said you forgave me… I tried to breathe

But I felt in that moment… you were leaving me

⸻

(Final Chorus – emotional peak)

I still see your name when I close my eyes

Still hear your voice and it makes me cry

Phone in my hand but it don’t feel right

‘Cause you ain’t there on the other side

From your arms… to this empty bed

I still hear every word you said

If I could go back… I’d change that night

Now I’m alone… and I can’t make it right

⸻

(Outro – almost whispering)

Got home… read your message again…

“You’re sweet… but I can’t do this”

“I’m walking away…”

I read it once…

then twice…

then ten more times…

Now I just sit here…

staring at your name…

Trying not to cry…

and failing every time 💔
