Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your jacket by the bedroom door Like you were coming back for something more I trace the shape your shoulders made in bed Then turn away from everything you said Your name still lives beneath my tongue A quiet ache from when we were young I gave you every guarded part of me Now every room remembers what we couldn’t be [Pre-Chorus] If I could pull one hour from the past I’d hold you closer, make the moment last But time keeps moving, and I’m standing still Wanting you against my better will [Chorus] I still want you, even after all the damage Still feel your touch like a promise I can’t manage You broke my heart, but I keep reaching through Every empty night comes back to you I still love you, though it cuts me when I say it If you called tonight, I know I couldn’t fake it You’re the wound and the reason I survive I lose you, then I miss you just to feel alive [Verse 2] I saw your face in someone passing by For half a second, I forgot goodbye My hands went cold, my pulse began to race Then I remembered I had lost your place You found a future I was scared to choose I found a thousand ways to miss you Some hearts don’t break with one final scene They fade in little ways through every memory [Pre-Chorus] If I could pull one hour from the past I’d hold you closer, make the moment last But time keeps moving, and I’m standing still Wanting you against my better will [Chorus] I still want you, even after all the damage Still feel your touch like a promise I can’t manage You broke my heart, but I keep reaching through Every empty night comes back to you I still love you, though it cuts me when I say it If you called tonight, I know I couldn’t fake it You’re the wound and the reason I survive I lose you, then I miss you just to feel alive [Bridge] Maybe we were beautiful and temporary Maybe I was yours before I got too scared to carry All the weight of what we knew I’d choose the pain if it led me back to you [Final Chorus] I still want you, even after all the damage Still feel your touch like a promise I can’t manage You broke my heart, but I keep reaching through Every empty night comes back to you I still love you, hear me say it, I won’t hide it Even if tomorrow comes and tries to divide it You’re the wound and the reason I survive I lose you, then I miss you just to feel alive [Outro] I still want you I still want you Even when I’m learning how to say goodbye
