Loving You Silently

You always said I'd break your heart (one day, one day)

Ain't it funny how the roles reversed?

I should've known it from the start (no way, no way)

I was never gonna put me first

No use in holding you from afar

If I'll just be opening other scars

If missing means hell

Then there isn't much else I can do

So I'll go on, loving you silently

You're not the one but you're still a part of me

We never won, and never even really got to try

So you'll go on living inside of me

Watch from the front, instead of beside of me

You had to run, and never even got to say goodbye

I fly to you to make a plan (I fly, I fly)

But there's no clarity in smoke and dust

It hurts me but I understand

Can't love you enough for the both of us

No use in holding you from afar

If I'll just be opening other scars

If missing means hell

Then there isn't much else I can do

So I'll go on, loving you silently

You're not the one but you're still a part of me

We never won, and never even really got to try

So you'll go on living inside of me

Watch from the front, instead of beside of me

You had to run, and never even got to say goodbye

I know about your wounds

Know they need tending to

I cared for you

Wasn't pretending to

Hope it was true

The way you said you loved me every night

I know about your flaws

Would have been fine with me

You don't want help

I shouldn't have tried to be

I'm just myself

And now I'll be sayin' goodbye
