[Intro]

Nobody knows why

Nobody knows how and

This feeling begins just like a spark

Tossing and turning inside of your heart

Exploding in the dark


[Verse 1]

Yeah

We used to talk about forever when that shit didn't last a second

Finding heaven on my own, and, believe me, it isn't pleasant

I know you won't get this message, I don't know where you are

Always searching for something better, yet you left the brightest star

Man it's crazy, "I loves you"s to "I don't know"s

Now I'm sitting here alone like, "Where the hell did you go?"

Acting like we never met, when'd you get so cold?

So many things I want to say, so much that's left untold

See, while you've been losing all your feelings I've been losing my mind

Choosing to find the truth behind my feelings inside

I got a appetite for you just laying here by my side

And it's hard to satisfy that craving in this moment of time

And truthfully I'm sick of thinking all these same lines again

But it's just been stuck in my head every time I'm writing in bed

I said I'm moving on, but you and I both know that phrase is just dead

More than enough has been said tryna get you out of my head, so goodbye


[Hook]

Calling your name in the midnight hour

Reaching you for in this endless dream

So many miles between us now

But you were always here with me


[Verse 2]

Yeah

And maybe it's for the better, kinda wish we didn't meet

We went from partners in crime to a couple glances a week

Advocating reconnections but it can't only be me

You see, you're a phone call away but feels like planets between

I mean, never being perfect didn't mean that we weren't worth it

Never knowing how to word it, what you really meant to me

Do we drown it 'cause it's burnin'?

Fire beneath the surface

Inside is just where I'm hurting, a smile is all you'll see

'Cause these feelings gotta go, that's what I come to truly know

I guess you'll never know, even when you left I still had hope

And now my heart is growing cold, like the coldest winter's snow

I know these songs are getting old, but it's the only thing that's left to hold so

Damn, all these same lines again, your name is just stuck in my head every time I'm lying in bed

I said I'm moving on, but you and I just may never really see

You will always be part of me with all these miles between


[Hook]

Calling your name in the midnight hour

Reaching you for in this endless dream

So many miles between us now

But you were always here with me
