(Intro)
Yeah…
I’m here… but you’re not really here…
(Verse 1)
I see the way you smile when you’re with me
But in your eyes, there’s someone else I see
I hold your hand, but you don’t hold me back
Like your heart’s somewhere I just can’t reach at
You say you’re good, you say I make you laugh
But there’s a silence that keeps telling facts
Every time his name runs through your mind
I feel like I’m just filling in the lines
(Pre-Chorus)
I don’t wanna force you to love me
I don’t wanna take his place in your mind
But every time you get a little closer
You pull me in… then push me aside
(Chorus)
You’re close to me, but it’s him that you see
I give you love, but he’s who you need
My heart’s in your hands, but you won’t hold it tight
I’m stuck in a game you don’t even fight
Tell me if I should stay… or let you go
‘Cause I’m tired of loving for two
You say you feel me, say I’m good for you
But your love keeps taking another route
(Verse 2)
I’m not jealous of what used to be
I’m just tired of what still won’t leave
You use me as a place to rest your heart
But never make me where your forever starts
When the night falls, you’re here in my arms
But in your dreams, he still has your heart
I give you everything I have to give
But I’m always second in the life you live
(Pre-Chorus)
I don’t wanna lose you
But I won’t lose myself too
If this love has no direction
How are we supposed to move?
(Chorus)
You’re close to me, but it’s him that you see
I give you love, but he’s who you need
My heart’s in your hands, but you won’t hold it tight
I’m stuck in a game you don’t even fight
Tell me if I should stay… or let you go
‘Cause I’m tired of loving for two
You say you feel me, say I’m good for you
But your love keeps taking another route
(Bridge)
I can’t fight a memory
I can’t erase your history
But if you want me, show me now
Don’t leave me living in someone else’s shadow
(Outro)
I’m here… if you choose me
But I won’t wait forever…
