I wasn't looking for a miracle,
Just someone at the end of the day.
A voice that made the silence smaller,
A reason not to walk away.
You never promised me forever,
Never drew our names in the sky.
But somewhere between all those conversations...
You stayed until goodbye.
{intimate piano-led opening, sparse strings entering late} Now every evening feels a
little colder,
Every song sounds like your name.
Funny how the shortest story...
Can leave the deepest pain.
{gentle lift, strings widen,
drums stay restrained} You were never mine...
But you felt like home.
Now I'm learning
How to be alone.
You held my heart Without even trying.
You walked away... While both of us were crying.
Maybe that's what love can do...
Even when it never belonged to you.
(ooh) {full emotional chorus,
harmony stack on final line} Tomorrow someone's gonna ask me
If I'm finally doing alright.
I'll smile and say I'm getting better...
They don't know
I still miss your "goodnight." {drop back to piano and bass,
drums nearly absent} Maybe someday
Someone else
Will hear the parts
You couldn't feel. Until then...
I'll carry hope... Like something
That's still real. {bridge opens harmonically,
suspended strings, quiet vocal doubles} You were never mine...
But you changed my life.
Showed me love
Can still survive.
If I ever find
The one meant for me...
She'll never know
You helped me believe.
(ahhhh) {final chorus, highest vocal lift,
strings and drums bloom}
Sometimes... The people who stay
The shortest... Leave the longest echo.
{octave piano ending, strings
fade, final breath left natural}
