[Intro]
(I close my eyes...)
(And you're the one I see.)
(Even when you're not here...)
[Verse 1]
I'm lying next to someone
who doesn't know my storms.
He holds me like I'm fragile,
but he doesn't know the scars.
He knows the way I laugh,
but not the reasons why.
He sees the light I show him...
but never what's behind my eyes.
I tell myself I'm happy,
I tell myself I'm fine.
But every quiet moment
I find you on my mind.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hate that I remember
every little thing you did.
The way you saw right through me...
the way you always knew.
[Chorus]
Because when the night gets colder,
and I'm lying in the dark,
I imagine you beside me,
I imagine where you are.
I picture your arms around me,
the comfort I still crave.
I picture your lips saying
all the things I wish you'd say.
And I know it's wrong to wonder,
I know I should let go...
But my heart still whispers your name
when nobody else knows.
[Verse 2]
He asks me what's wrong,
and I say "nothing at all."
Because how do I explain
missing someone I lost?
How do I admit
that a part of me stayed there?
In every conversation,
in every song we shared.
I compare the little things,
the things I shouldn't do.
The way he holds my hand...
The way it never felt like you.
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'm just broken.
Maybe I'm confused.
Maybe I chose the safer road...
But my heart still chooses you.
[Chorus]
Because when the night gets colder,
and I'm lying in the dark,
I imagine you beside me,
I imagine your heartbeat in the quiet.
I remember how you loved me,
before I learned to run.
Before I convinced myself
that losing you was done.
And I know I can't keep living
between what is and what was...
But some part of me is still waiting
for the person I still love.
[Bridge]
If you knew the truth...
would you hate me?
If you saw inside my head...
would you stay?
Because every time I close my eyes,
I find the place I left behind.
And somehow you're still the home
I can't replace.
[Chorus]
I'm beside somebody else,
but my heart isn't there.
I'm searching for your shadow
in a room you never share.
I know I should be grateful.
I know I should move on.
But every night I lose myself
in memories of us.
Maybe someday I'll stop missing
the way you made me feel...
But tonight when I close my eyes...
You're the only one who feels real.
[Outro]
(I close my eyes...)
(And you're the one I see.)
(Even when you're not here...)
(You're still a part of me.)
Beexii
