Confessin' that you're always on my Mind

[(Verse 1)] The neon flicker cuts across the bar, A trumpet moans somewhere down in the dark. I watch your shadow stretch across the floor, And turn away before it leaves a mark. ([Verse 2)] They say that seeing is believing right, But visual proof can be a trick of light. I keep my distance while the brass horn blows, And keep my secret hidden in the night. ([Chorus1)] The muted trumpet sings a lonely strain, A slow jazz chord to go along with pain. I pull my coat against the cold, dark street, Resisting every time our glances meet, Confessin' that you're always on my mind. [(Verse 3)] A double bourbon on a polished bar, I trace the rim and wonder where you are. I hear your laughter through the smoky haze, A quiet echo from a distant star. [(Verse 4]) I build my walls to keep the feeling out, A stoic armour wrapped in fear and doubt. Yet every shadow wears your silhouette, A quiet secret I can't speak about. [Chorus2] The muted trumpet sings a lonely strain, A slow jazz chord to go along with pain. I pull my coat against the cold, dark street, Resisting every time our glances meet, Confessin' that you're always on my mind. ([Verse 5)] The streetlights shimmer in the midnight rain, I walk alone to dull the steady pain. I try to tell myself it’s all a dream, A faint hallucination in my brain. [(Verse 6)] Distance is safer than a sudden spark, I’ll stay a phantom quiet in the dark. Eyes can deceive, but what I feel is clear, Your memory leaves an everlasting mark. ([Chorus3)] The muted trumpet sings a lonely strain, A slow jazz chord to go along with pain. I pull my coat against the cold, dark street, Resisting every time our glances meet, Confessin' that you're always on my mind. ([Outro)] The brass swells up and fades into the night, I step away into the dim streetlight. No strength is left to fight what’s left behind, I’m standing in the shadows, finally blind, Confessin' that you're always on my mind.
