[Verse 1] Five hours talking on a hotel bed Nothing in the room but the words we said You said I should probably go But neither of us moved Then you turned and looked at me Like hope was breaking through Like you already knew the truth I was trying not to choose We both knew the world outside that door Would come rushing back too soon But in that quiet empty room It felt like me and you [Chorus] I still remember how you looked at me Like hope was breaking through If I'd known what that night would mean If I'd known you were passing through Maybe I'd have found the strength somehow Maybe I'd have walked away If I'd known you were only passing through I would've let you pass me by [Verse 2] We tried to keep it where it was Somewhere safe between the lines Phone calls fading into silence Miles and miles of time Then the question we both avoided Finally came into the light What are we really doing here? Neither answer felt right [Bridge] Some fires burn too bright to last Some roads don't lead somewhere Sometimes the hardest kind of love Is knowing when to care [Chorus] I still remember how you looked at me Hope shining in your eyes If I'd known you were only passing through [Outro] I might've let you pass me by
