Never There

I'm staring at my phone, as the screen's lighting up But it's just another empty text, guess I'm outta luck I’m waiting for an answer, to questions that we made Wondering what happens if I left instead of stayed You say you’re always busy, you got no time to spare But I’m drowning in the silence, as if you're unaware Every promise that you break, makes me wanna fall apart I'm looking for a lighthouse, but I'm out so far I built my world around the hope you'd stay But now it's clear, you were never on your way I gave you all I have, but all you did is take Now I'm picking up the pieces, page by page You only call me when you want something Never ask nothing, never give nothing I'm getting tired of these skipped heartbeats Never say nothing, then you say you love me And all these damn days I've sat here lying bare I'm starting to wonder if you even care Need an anchor to hold me but you're never there I used to lie awake, replaying every word Thinking of the ways, I could try and fix the hurt But now I see the truth, that I tried to ignored You were never really mine, you were just a distant shore Your love's a fleeting shadow, slipping through my hands Still trying to hold on, but your heart has other plans Every time you leave me, it leaves another scar I’m learning how to live with who you are, but it's hard I built my world around the hope you'd stay But now it's clear, you were never on your way I gave you all I have, but all you did is take Now I'm picking up the pieces, page by page You only call me when you want something Never ask nothing, never give nothing I'm getting tired of these skipped heartbeats Never say nothing, then you say you love me And all these damn days I've sat here lying bare I'm starting to wonder if you even care Need an anchor to hold me but you're never there Tell me, was it all just in my mind? Did I dream up a love you could never find? Now I'm breaking free from this empty space I won't be held down by your uneven embrace You only call me when you want something Never ask nothing, never give nothing I'm getting tired of these skipped heartbeats Never say nothing, then you say you love me And all these damn days I've sat here lying bare I'm starting to wonder if you even care Need an anchor to hold me but you're never there You're never there, no, you're never there I'm moving on, finding air, you're never there No more waiting, no more prayers, you're never there I'm done with hoping, you're never there
