Six AM, the morning light

I double tap to keep you in my sight I know the

cafe where you get your tea I know the songs you play

when you are free But I don't know if you still dream

of me

Twelve months of watching from the screen Living inside a life I've

only seen Your profile picture changed to blue And I am still

here waiting on the truth (ooh-ooh)

I know the streets you walk,

the flights you take Every single promise that we had to break

I know your world in pixels,

bright and clear But I'm a ghost who's watching from the rear

Do you ever look back through the screen

Or am I just a face you used to

see?

Today there is a picture of a ring

A caption saying she's your everything

My chest goes tight,

my fingers freeze I'm falling backward down onto my knees

(ahhh) I knew the streets you walked,

the flights you take Every single promise that we had to break

I knew your world in pixels,

bright and clear But I'm a ghost who's watching from the rear

Do you ever look back through the screen

Or am I just a face you used to

see?

But this is where the cycle has to end

I will not search your name or click again

(no more)

My thumb hovers above the glowing screen

And I delete the world we lived between

I don't need to know the flights you take!

(no, I don't!) No more counting promises we had to break!

I'm letting go of pixels,

letting go of fear

I'm stepping out, the air is cold and clear!

(yeah, yeah!)

I step outside into the morning breeze And put the phone down

deep inside my sleeve

I don't know where you are

or what you do

And for the first time

I don't need to
