Midnight Echoes in the Void

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I tell everybody I'm better now Like I finally figured it out But 3 a.m. keeps calling my name And every empty room feels the same Too many bottles, too many lights Too many strangers wearing your eyes I'm looking for that shade of green But every face just stares through me Last night I met somebody new For half a second, she looked like you She said, “You're not even looking at me You're looking for who you used to see” [Pre-Chorus] And I hope you're happy with the life I couldn't give I hope he holds you like I never did I hope when he looks into your eyes You don't see all the ways we said goodbye [Chorus] I keep saying I'm better without you So why the hell am I still awake? Searching every stranger's eyes For something that I couldn't save I put the pedal down, sixth gear Trying to leave myself behind But every mirror screams your name And you're still riding in my mind I say I'm better, but I know it's a lie 'Cause everywhere I go You're still there [Verse 2] I saw you last night underneath those lights Tried to walk away, couldn't make it right You looked at me like you already knew That some part of me still belongs to you And he was standing by your side Like he was everything you couldn't find Brown eyes, almost the same as mine God, I hate that thought tonight Do you search his face when he's holding you? For all the things I couldn't do? Do you ever hear my voice When he's making all the right choices? Another girl looked straight through me Said, “You're somewhere else when you look at me” And I knew exactly what she meant I'm still chasing what I lost back then [Pre-Chorus] And I hope you're happy with the life I couldn't give I hope he stays when you're scared to let him in I hope when he looks into your eyes You don't feel the need to run this time [Chorus] I keep saying I'm better without you So why the hell am I still awake? Searching every stranger's eyes For something that I couldn't save I put the pedal down, sixth gear Trying to leave myself behind But every mirror screams your name And you're still riding in my mind I say I'm better, but I know it's a lie 'Cause everywhere I go You're still there [Breakdown] I'M NOT OVER YOU I'm just better at pretending I'M NOT OVER YOU I'm just better at forgetting Every face Every light Every night You're alive I can run I can hide But you're still Inside my mind [Final Chorus] I keep saying I'm better without you But I don't believe myself anymore I've searched a thousand strangers' eyes And found the same ghost in them all So I put the pedal down, sixth gear Let the whole damn city disappear But no matter how far I drive I can't outrun what I left behind I say I'm better, but I know it's a lie Maybe someday I'll be alright But tonight You're still there [Outro] 3 a.m. Same room Same silence Still you
