Your old headphones on the desk
Coffee stain where your mug rest
Streetlight paints a long thin line
Across the floor, where you used to lie
I still reach for you at night
Then remember you’re out of sight
Sheets still smell like your perfume
I’m stuck in the room we grew into
I should’ve held you tighter when the world pulled us apart
I should’ve known the clock would steal our last bright spark
Now every breath’s a reminder we’re worlds apart
I should’ve loved you better, right from the start
Unsent voice note in my phone
Ticket stub for the show we didn’t go to
I trace the cracks in the window pane
Wishing I could rewind the hands of fate
I still play that song we loved
But the radio’s no longer enough
Walls echo with your last goodnight
I’m lost in the silence, left to fight
I should’ve held you tighter when the world pulled us apart
I should’ve known the clock would steal our last bright spark
Now every breath’s a reminder we’re worlds apart
I should’ve loved you better, right from the start
I still call your name by mistake
In empty rooms, I still break
What if we’d chosen different roads?
Would we still have these hollow abodes?
I should’ve held you tighter when the world pulled us apart
I should’ve known the clock would steal our last bright spark
Now every breath’s a reminder we’re worlds apart
I should’ve loved you better, right from the start
Headphones on the desk
Coffee stain still there
I should’ve loved you better
I should’ve loved you better
