(Intro)

(Verse1)

I still reach for your hand in the middle of the night

when the shadows get heavy and nothing feels right

The rain on the window sounds like you calling my name

but the streetlights are flicking and nothing’s the same

I’m watching your hands, the way they move,

Memorizing the rhythm, the familiar groove,

Knowing by dawn, those hands will be

reaching for things that don’t include me.

(Pre Chorus)

How do I unlearn the sound of your name?

How do I live in a house that’s not the same?

How do I unlove the way you say my name?

How do I stand still while everything is changed?

(Verse2)

You said "it’s for the best," with a trembling lip,

While I felt the world start to lose its grip.

I want to beg, I want to scream "stay,"

But I love you enough to let you walk away.

They say time is a healer, but time is a thief

It steals all the joy and it leaves all the grief

Take the plans we drew in the sand,

Take the future right out of my hands

(Chorus)

So how do I unlove the way you say my name?

How do I stand still while everything is changed?

You’re taking the stars right out of my sky,

Leaving me nothing but "hello" and "goodbye

If I could trade every tomorrow for one yesterday

I’d go back to the moment before you walked away

(Bridge)

Go on and take the photographs,

Take the secrets and the half-drunk laughs.

Take the plans we drew in the sand,

Take the future right out of my hand.

(Verse3)

Watching your ship sail away from me.

Go find your peace, go find your light,

I’ll be the shadow left in the night.

Knowing by dawn, those hands will be

reaching for things that don’t include me

I’ll love you in silence; I’ll love you in vain

until the last heartbeat forgets your name.

(Outro)

The door clicks shut.

The world goes still.

I told you I’d survive...

But I don’t think I will.

Just a ghost in the hallway.

Just a heart on the floor.

I don’t know who I am

Without you anymore.
