[Verse 1] We didn’t break, we just went quiet Like a porch light after dawn No slammed doors, no final sentence Just a day that carried on I don’t reach for you most mornings I don’t say your name out loud But every now and then the night comes in And pulls you from the clouds [Pre-Chorus] They say some stars are already gone Still burning by the time we look up [Chorus] You’re like a flickering star in the sky Sometimes I see you, sometimes I don’t try You’re not around, but you never left Just out of view, holding your breath I don’t chase the light, I don’t ask why You’re still in my sky [Verse 2] I’ve learned how to say “I’m fine” And mostly mean it too Built a life that fits me better now With less “us” and more “new” But there are nights I feel your gravity Just enough to slow my pace Like the dark remembers where you were Even when it hides your face [Pre-Chorus 2] They say the dark is never empty Just waiting on a spark [Chorus)] You’re like a flickering star in the sky Sometimes I see you, sometimes I don’t try You’re not around, but you never left Just out of view, holding your breath I don’t chase the light, I don’t ask why You’re still in my sky [Bridge] Maybe that’s the mercy of distance and time Not gone, left behind Just a light that learned how to fade Without dying [Final Chorus] You’re like a flickering star in the sky Some nights I forget, some nights I cry I don’t need answers, I don’t deny What we were still gets by I don’t call you back, I don’t say goodbye You’re still in my sky
