[LYRICS]
(Intro)
(Acoustic guitar strumming, soft and melodic)
(Verse 1)
I memorized the way you held your coffee cup
The way you’d laugh and never look me up
I was the shadow standing in the hall
Building up a courage just to let it fall
Three years of "hey" and "how you been today"
While a thousand "I love you’s" got tucked away.
(Pre-Chorus)
The timing wasn’t right, or maybe I was scared
Of losing the friendship that we already shared
So I kept my secrets behind a locked door
Waiting for a moment that’s not there anymore.
(Chorus)
Now you’re a ghost in a city I don’t know
A wildfire heart that I let go
I had the words, but they died on my tongue
A song of "almost" that stayed unsung
Now you’re with him, and I’m just a memory
Of the boy who loved you... silently.
(Verse 2)
I saw the photos, you look happy in the rain
A different state, a different last name
I wonder if you ever felt the spark
When we were walking home through the dark
Or was I just a face in your crowded room?
A faded flower that forgot to bloom.
(Bridge)
I should’ve said it when the stars were aligned
I should’ve reached out and made you mine
But the "what ifs" are heavy, they’re breaking my chest
I gave you my silence, and lost all the rest!
(Outro)
Yeah, I lost you...
Before I ever even had you.
Just a shadow... In the hall.
