I Miss You, Finally

Packed up the pictures, hid ‘em away
Told myself I’d be okay
Thought if I just let go
Maybe I wouldn’t feel so alone

Deleted your messages, threw out your notes
Played new songs, changed my phone
Tried to forget the way you spoke
But your voice still echoes close

And here I am, in my room again 
Every shadow calls your name
I swore I'd move on, I swore I'd be free
But in the quiet, I miss you finally

Took long walks, lost in the crowd
Turned the music way too loud
But every song and every street
Brings back the way we used to be

Told myself I’d be just fine
That time would make it all alright
But you show up in my dreams at night
And I’m still losing every fight

And here I am, in my room again
Every corner whispers you
I swore I'd move on, I swore I'd be free
But in the silence, I miss you finally


Tried to change, tried to forget
Tried to heal without regret
But every step, every sign
Leads me back to when you were mine

No matter how far I try to run
Every sunset, every song
Pulls me right back to the past
Wishing that we still could last


Repainted walls, switched up my style
Stopped wearing your old hoodie for a while
But even when I fall asleep
You’re still the face I always see

So here I am, in my room again
Every silence breathes of you
I thought I'd be fine, thought I’d be free
But I realize now, I miss you finally


Maybe someday, I’ll let go
Find my way and take it slow
But tonight, it’s clear to me
I miss you… finally
I miss you… (miss you...)
