Never Coming Back

I still see your shadow in the doorway light
Coffee cup cold on a Tuesday night
Your laugh lives in the cracks of the walls
Every echo sounds like your call

I kept the promises we never made
Held onto words we were too afraid
To ever say out loud back then
Now silence is my only friend

‘Cause you’re the love that won’t return
A lesson I had to learn
I lit our memories just to watch them burn
Still, my heart’s concerned
You’re the dream that slipped away
Like smoke I couldn’t make you stay
I’d trade tomorrow for yesterday
But you’re gone… and you’re never coming back

Your sweater still smells like rain
I hold it close when I feel the pain
They say time heals everything
But time just taught me how to pretend

I replay every last goodbye
Looking for a hidden sign
That maybe you’ll change your mind
But hope’s just another lie

‘Cause you’re the love that won’t return
A bridge I had to burn
I tried to swim but the water turned
Into waves I couldn’t surf
You’re the song I still replay
Even though it hurts this way
I’d give my heart just to hear you say
My name… but you’re never coming back

If I could turn the world around
I’d meet you where we fell apart
But fate don’t hear these desperate sounds
And I’m left here with a broken heart

You’re the love that won’t return
The page I couldn’t turn
I learned the truth the hard way
That love don’t always stay
You’re the ghost inside my past
A future that didn’t last
I’ll learn to live, I’ll learn to stand
But you’re gone…
And you’re never coming back

So I’ll say goodbye one last time
To the dream I called mine
Lost love fading into black
Yeah… you’re never coming back
