2:17 AM Memories

It’s 2:17, I’m wide awake

Watching shadows dance across my walls

I tell myself that I’m okay But I don’t really believe it

at all

Your name is still inside my phone I never deleted what we

were

Funny how a crowded room Can still make me feel like I’m

alone

And I know, I know

Some things aren’t meant to stay But why does letting go

Feel like losing yesterday?

So I’ll lay here with the lights turned low Listening to songs

that you used to know Pretending that I don’t miss you anymore

While I’m staring at the ceiling Trying not to feel it Like

I haven’t cried here before

Maybe someday I’ll wake up And your ghost won’t be the first

thing I think of But tonight,

I’m still stuck At 2:17

Missing us I pass the places we would go And swear I

hear you laughing there I guess memories don’t need a home They

follow you everywhere

I wonder if you think of me

Or if I’m just another name

Maybe I was temporary But you became a permanent ache So I’ll

lay here with the lights turned low Listening to songs that you

used to know Pretending that I don’t miss you anymore

While I’m staring at the ceiling Trying not to feel it Like

I haven’t cried here before Maybe someday I’ll wake up And your

ghost won’t be the first thing I think of

But tonight, I’m still stuck At 2:17

Missing us The morning’s getting closer And I’m still awake

Some people leave quietly

But the memories stay

So I’ll close my eyes And let the old days play

Just for tonight

Before I let you

fade away
