歌词
What will it take to forget your touch?
(What will it take?)
How could that letter mean so much?
But it's lost like the love you gave to me
[Outro]
I never read the words of love you penned
(I never read the words)
I never felt the pain that you sent
(I never felt the pain)
So how could you be waiting for my reply
(When there's no reply)
Why'd you have to go and fade away? (fade away)
Left your mark, but your words couldn't stay
Gone like whispers on the midnight breeze
(Whispers fade)
That letter lost, but I feel it still
(Lines I missed)
The empty space, only time might fill
(Ticking slow)
Yet here you stand, your eyes asking 'Why'
When I never saw the goodbye
Dim the lights and I feel your ghost
(Always haunting)
In my mind where I miss you most
(Visions daunting)
Could've changed it all with just a phrase
(A few words)
But now silence speaks in a thousand ways
(Such a void to nurse)
[Chorus]
How could I know what you never said
(How could I know)
And there you are, a shadow in the hall
(You're haunting me)
Tried to find the words, but I just stall
(I can’t speak)
Torn between the ache and the allure
(Yet you're gone)
Guessing at the feelings we once shared
(Now withdrawn) [Bridge]
Could’ve sworn I felt your heart in mine
(Beats syncing up)
Girl, I confess sometimes I lie awake
(Staring at the stars)
Rereading lines in my mind that you didn't state
(Reading between the stars)
In the silence of the room I see your face
But in the quiet I still hear the things we didn't embrace
[Verse]
Your secrets hidden in a cursive maze
(Secrets untold)
Guess we got lost in more than just your phrase
(Love growing cold)
Empty drawers and hollow nights
(I’m searching still)
I find echoes but not the sights
(Of pages filled)
You’re a memory fading out
Like ink that bleeds in rain
(Just dissolving away)
Paper hearts in paper towns
(Are all that remain)
[Pre-Chorus]
Thought I knew the verse and line
Till the truth went missin' in the sands of time
(Now I'm guessin')
Left to wonder what your heart declined to say
(Incomplete confessions)
[Verse]
I keep searchin' for what never came
(Hopes left hangin')
Could a few penned words have stopped the pain?
(The question's banging)
Boxes empty, save the echo of us
(In the stillness)
