3 a.m., ceiling talks back
Every thought plays on a loop like that
Your name echoes in the quiet room
Even silence sounds like you
I replay moments I should’ve said more
Bit my tongue, now it’s a closed door
Smiling on the outside, barely okay
Carrying words I never say
If you could hear my heartbeat now
You’d know what I’m afraid to say out loud
*I wish you knew, oh how I wish you knew*
*I wish you knew…*
*All the things going on inside my mind*
*I wish you knew how lonely it gets without youuuu*
*Beside meeee*
Every night I’m reaching through the dark
Trying to find you where you are
I laugh with friends but I drift away
’Cause part of me’s stuck on yesterday
I see your shadow in every crowd
Miss you most when it’s too loud
I tell myself I’ll be just fine
But that’s another half-truth, another lie
’Cause loving you was never light
It was a fire I still feel at night
If you read between these broken lines
You’d see your name written in mine
*I wish you knew, oh how I wish you knew*
*I wish you knew…*
*All the things going on inside my mind*
*I wish you knew how lonely it gets without youuuu*
*Beside meeee*
Maybe I’m scared you’d walk away
If you knew how much I need you to stay
So I hide behind a smile that’s untrue
And write songs I’ll never play for you
If wishing made a difference, you’d be here
If honesty was easy, I’d be clear
I don’t need perfect, I just need real
To know you ever felt what I feel
*I wish you knew, oh how I wish you knew*
*I wish you knew…*
*That my world still spins around you*
*I wish you knew how empty it gets without youuuu*
*Beside meeee*
So I’ll leave this song in the dark
Like a message from my heart
Hoping someday it finds its way to you
