Lyric

I opened the curtains, thought I could see the future

Said "I'm home," "Welcome back," and "Thank you" in ways I forgot

Smiles felt so distant, I couldn't remember how to make them

Nights without you, I held my breath too many times

Did you shed a tear when I was gone, even just a little?

I don't want to be just a memory

I can't survive being a name from the past

Last year, around this time, at the window

The crowd outside still lingers in my mind

You never leave me, why is that?

I don't understand this future yet

Felt like I knew everything, but it crushed me

All the "I wish I could see you" feelings

Left behind as I try to live today

In the streetlights, I search for your hand

But it’s gone, still, you never leave me

And I can't explain why

Everything I thought I knew

Shattered in a single day

I keep chasing shadows

Hoping somehow you'll stay

Even though you're far away

I carry you with me, anyway

The memories fade, but you linger on

I face the day, I try to move along

Still, you never leave me, no

Still, you never leave me…
