By the way

You know waiting for you is like
Waiting for rain in the drought
And I’m done wishing on airplanes
Cuz it seems no shooting stars will pass

I’m done building my dreams on
False hopes that you’ll one day return
I’m done replaying your words in my mind
It seems these promises will stay only words

I’m done trying to convince myself
That you’ll somehow miss me one day enough
For you to come back to me and everything
To be back again like it was before you left

A dream I’ve lived that swept me off my feet
Till I came crashing down by reality again
You were a lie I made up till eventually
I became convinced by it myself

And it’s true I miss you like hell
I keep wishing you back every night
But it’s not fair to go on wasting my life
When I know you’re never coming back again

Sometimes I feel like you’re still there in the room
I feel your warmth still lingering on my shoulders
Like a ghost chasing me all around the place
Your memories babe, they’re driving me insane

It’s no use fighting them, cuz they’ll always be there
Engraved, sacred, locked away in my heart
And maybe my only chance will be to let go of them
But by the way darling, I hope you’ll feel how much it hurts
