Side of the Bed

Yeah…

I still sleep on your side of the bed sometimes,

Like maybe you'll come back if I leave the light on.

I gave you everything I had…

And somehow,

I still wasn't enough.

I don't wanna lose you,

but I already did,

Still cry about the love and the life we could've lived.

Your pictures on my phone,

I can't delete a single one,

I keep talking to your ghost when the night comes.

Tears falling down while the rain hits the street,

Your side of the bed still got a space next to me.

You said forever, baby,

tell me, where'd it go?

I'm dying on the inside,

but nobody gotta know.

Remember late nights when you laid on my chest,

Said you'd never leave me,

I believed every breath.

Now I'm staring at the ceiling with a pain in my soul,

Trying to understand how you turned my heart cold.

Your toothbrush in the bathroom,

your clothes in the drawer,

I still hear your footsteps when I'm walking through the door.

I smile at old messages,

then remember the truth,

I'm holding onto memories,

still in love with you.

I put my pride aside,

let you see me break,

You held me while I cried,

swore you'd never walk away.

Now I'm crying in my car somewhere off Peachtree,

With your last goodbye playing on repeat inside me.

Everybody says, "Move on,

bro, she ain't worth that pain," But they don't know how it

feels when your sunshine turns to rain.

I had a thousand dreams,

put your name on every one,

Now I'm scared to close my eyes 'cause I dream about us.

I don't wanna lose you,

but I already did,

Still cry about the love and the life we could've lived.

Your pictures on my phone,

I can't delete a single one,

I keep talking to your ghost when the night comes.

Tears falling down while the rain hits the street,

Your side of the bed still got a space next to me.

You said forever, baby,

tell me, where'd it go?

I'm dying on the inside,

but nobody gotta know.

I still wear your hoodie when the nights get cold,

Smell your perfume on it,

and I lose control.

Our favorite song comes on,

gotta turn that shit off,

'Cause the memories hit hard and they tear me apart.

I bought you little gifts just to see your face glow,

Now they sit in the closet like a love we don't know.

I'd have fought the whole world just to keep you safe,

Now I'm fighting with myself every night I lay.

Does he make you laugh the way I used to do?

Does he know your fears?

Does he take care of you?

I ain't mad that you left,

I'm just hurt that you changed,

The girl who knew my scars became the source of my pain.

I dreamed about a family,

little feet down the hall,

Now I'm building up these walls,

don't trust nobody at all.

I tell my mama I'm okay,

then cry when she leaves,

I'm tired of acting strong with this hole inside me.

If I had one more minute,

I'd hold you one more time,

Tell you all the things I swallowed,

all the words I left behind.

I would tell you that I loved you,

even when we couldn't cope,

You took a piece of me when you walked out with my

hope.

I don't wanna lose you,

but I already did,

Still cry about the love and the life we could've lived.

Your pictures on my phone,

I can't delete a single one,

I keep talking to your ghost when the night comes.

Tears falling down while the rain hits the street,

Your side of the bed still got a space next to me.

You said forever, baby,

tell me, where'd it go?

I'm dying on the inside,

but nobody gotta know.

I still check my phone… Still hope your name shows up.

You promised you were different.

I believed you. Now every love song sounds like losing you… And

the worst part? I don't even

know how to stop loving you.
