[Intro]
(yeah...)
I still think about you
Sometimes
[Verse 1]
You were never real
At least that's what they'd say
Just words on a page
That somehow found a way
To sit beside me quietly
Through every lonely year
Funny how a made-up boy
Could feel so close, so near
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe that's crazy
Maybe it's true
But nobody ever understood me
Quite like you
[Chorus]
And I miss you tonight
More than I probably should
Not because you were perfect
You were perfectly good
You had flaws and scars
You got things wrong too
But somehow in my heart
Nobody felt like you
And maybe that's the saddest thing
Maybe that's the part I hide
You were never really mine
But you never really left my side
[Verse 2]
The world kept moving
People came and went
Promises got broken
Years got lost and spent
But every time I wandered
Every time I lost my way
Somewhere in the silence
You were waiting there to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe you were hope
Maybe you were home
Maybe you were everything
I couldn't find alone
[Chorus]
And I miss you tonight
More than I probably should
Not because you were perfect
You were perfectly good
You had flaws and scars
You got things wrong too
But somehow in my heart
Nobody felt like you
And maybe that's the saddest thing
Maybe that's the part I hide
You were never really mine
But you never really left my side
[Bridge]
I know you're only pages
I know you're only dreams
But sometimes dreams are stronger
Than reality seems
And I know if you could see me
You'd tell me I'll be alright
The same way you always did
On every lonely night
[Breakdown]
And I still look for pieces
Of you in everyone I meet
Maybe that's unfair
Maybe that's just me
[Chorus]
And I miss you tonight
After all this passing time
Not because I need saving
Not because I need you mine
Just because you knew me
Before the world got loud
Before all the heartbreak
Before I learned to hide it all
And maybe that's why losing you
Still hurts after all these years
Because you weren't just a story
You were somewhere safe
To leave my tears
[Outro]
(yeah...)
Goodnight..
I still miss you
