Verse 1
It’s been so long since we last spoke,
I tried to reach you,
I tried to see you,
I still hear your voice in the mess we made.
I tell my friends that I’m doing fine,
But I lose myself inside my mind.
The night goes slow,
Without sound.
Pre-Chorus
And it can get better,
It must get better,
Though I don’t know how.
I need it to be better,
I need it to be easier now.
Chorus
I still look for you
In places you’ll never be.
I still hear your voice
In the spaces between me and sleep.
I tried to let go,
But your ghost knows where to move.
I don’t want you back,
But I still look for you.
Verse 2
You left your light on inside my chest,
Now every heartbeat feels like regret.
I learned to smile, I learned to breathe,
But not how to want what’s good for me.
Bridge
If you are happy now,
I’ll try to mean it.
I’ll find peace somehow,
Even if I don’t believe it.
Whether it hurts me now,
Whether I break before I heal,
It can be better,
It must be better.
Final Chorus
I still look for you
In places you’ll never be.
I still hear your voice
In the spaces between me and sleep.
I tried to let go,
But your ghost knows where to move.
I don’t want you back,
But I still look for you.
Outro
It can be better,
It must get better.
Though I don’t know how,
I need it to be easier now.
