Lyric

Morning light is dancing

On the water in the sink

I read your short reply again

More times than I should admit

To you, it probably meant nothing

Just another passing line

But I keep searching every comma

For a warmth that might be mine

Every time I want you closer

I get scared of where we stand

If you ever knew I loved you

Would you still look at me like that?

I breathe in

Tie my hair

Wear a smile

And meet you there

When our eyes meet

I feel alive

Then hide the way

I lose my breath inside

I want you

To notice something

But if you do

You might pull away

So every word

I never tell you

Gets caught inside my throat

And stays

You’re right beside me

Still out of reach

Whenever you smile

I can barely breathe

All I did

Was fall for you

So why does loving you

Hurt like this?

Your name is glowing

On the screen beside my bed

I wait before I answer

So you won’t know how fast I read

I can’t ask who you were with

I can’t ask who’s on your mind

The more I want to know you

The more I have to hide

Every time you’re kind, I wonder

If you feel the same somehow

Then I see you treat everyone

The way you’re treating me right now

Maybe staying friends would mean

I never have to lose you

But hearing who you’re falling for

Would be the thing I couldn’t live through

I miss you more

The more we meet

This feeling has

Nowhere to be

The nights I try

To let you go

Are the nights I need

Your voice the most

I want you

To notice something

But if you do

This might be over

So every “I love you”

I never tell you

Keeps getting heavier

And colder

You’re right beside me

Still out of reach

Whenever you laugh

I can barely breathe

I wish I’d never

Fallen for you

But every time I say it

I fall deeper too

Maybe I don’t

Exist in your heart

But in mine

You’re everything

Let this helpless little light

At least carry me

Through the night
