Carry the Blame (Response)

You still live inside this old house In the silence after dark Your old jacket's by the doorway Like you never really left I watched taillights fade to nothing Held my tears until sunrise You were chasing something bigger While I stayed behind with goodbye Every empty room reminds me Love was never hard to find You were searching for forever While I begged you not to leave mine I kept whispering your name to the midnight sky Hoping somehow you'd hear my heart I was hurt, I was broken But I never stopped believing That one day you'd remember where you left your home And I'd trade every lonely evening Every tear that's fallen since Just to hear you say you're sorry And mean it with one last kiss People say that time can heal you But they never knew your smile Every song still sounds like yesterday Though it's been a little while I still make two cups of coffee Then I catch myself again Funny how the smallest habits Leave the deepest kinds of pain Now your words reach me like echoes From a road that's far away I can hear your heart is breaking Mine has never been the same I kept whispering your name to the midnight sky Hoping somehow you'd hear my heart I was hurt, I was broken But I never stopped believing That one day you'd remember where you left your home And I'd trade every lonely evening Every tear that's fallen since Just to hear you say you love me Like you did back then Maybe we were both just children Trying hard to find our way Maybe love is learning slowly Why did we throw it all away If tomorrow brings you to my door I don't know what I would do Part of me still wants forever Part of me is scared of loving you If you're calling through that open window Know I've heard every word you've said I kept whispering your name to the midnight sky Praying somehow we'd rewrite the end We were young, we were reckless We both lost what really mattered Now our hearts keep driving circles through the past And if fate should ever find us Standing where we used to be Don't just tell me that you miss me Fight for what we used to dream So if these words should ever reach you Know I never hated you You left looking for tomorrow I stayed loving yesterday
