You used to light up when my name came through Your days got warmer just knowing it was us two Now I’m talking to the screen of your phone Wondering if I’m still somebody you miss when you’re alone You say you’re tired, say it’s been a week I hear the words its been a long streak I hold the space, I hold my tongue My heart keeps coming undone I can’t see you smile when you’re with me Yet I hear you laughing somewhere I can’t be I tell myself it’s not what it seems Still it cuts a little deeper than I'll ever let you see I don’t need to be your sunshine every day I just miss the light when you looked my way I’m right here, been here awhile Yet I can’t see you smile I don’t need fireworks or grand displays Just a little warmth, just a little faith That I’m not just the place you come to break Leaving your joy back at the gate I’ve learned your storms, I know your pain I don’t run when we get hit by some rain I’m scared I’ve become the ground Where you lay your hurt and never stick around I can’t see you smile when you’re with me Yet I hear you laughing somewhere I can’t be I swear I try not to let it sting So why does it feel like im losing everything I don’t need you perfect or always strong I just need to know I still belong I’m right here, been here awhile Yet I can’t see you smile Maybe love ain’t leaving Maybe it’s just worn thin Maybe I’m holding on While you’re fighting things within I don’t want to cage you I don’t want to pry I just want to feel like I’m not where happiness goes to die I can’t see you smile when you’re with me God, I wish you could see what that does to me Tell myself, “Be patient" as a tear falls from my eye Cuz loneliness don’t care how hard you try I don’t need forever figured out tonight Girl show me I’m not losing you in plain sight I’m right here, been here awhile I just want to see you smile ... If one day you find your way back here With that look I used to know so clear I’ll be right where you left me for a while Waiting to see you smile...
