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 💔
