(Mmm)
Some people break your heart
By leaving
Some people break your heart
By staying
You never knock
You just walk in
Like my apartment
Has always known your name
You drop your jacket on my chair
Laugh about your day
Like nothing in this world
Could ever change
You hug me like a friend
Like someone you trust
And I smile back
Because that's all I can give you
You talk about her
The girl you're thinking about
The future you imagine
The life you're building without me
And I listen
Because I love the sound
Of you being happy
Even when happiness
Doesn't include me
You don't know
How close heaven feels
When it stands right in front of you
And still belongs
Somewhere else
There is a space between us
Where everything almost happens
A place where your hand stays
A second too long
Where your eyes find mine
Before you remember
Who you are
And who I'm not
There is a space between us
Where I let myself believe
But morning always comes
And reminds me
You were never leaving
You were just being kind
You throw me your keys
Tell me to drive
Talk about your plans
Talk about the girl
Who's waiting for your call tonight
I say
Yeah, that's crazy
I say
That's good for you
While I'm memorizing
The way the sunlight hits you
Through the windshield
The way your hand moves
When you change the radio
The little things
Nobody would ever notice
But me
Because some people remember moments
I remember you
The hardest part
Was never wanting you
The hardest part
Was accepting
That wanting you
Would never change you
There is a space between us
Where I keep all my secrets
Where I hear your voice
Long after you leave
Where your cologne stays behind
On the side of my room
Like a ghost
That doesn't know
It's gone
There is a space between us
Where I still call your name
But only inside my head
Because loving you openly
Would change everything
Maybe that's the cruelest thing
About some people
They don't hurt you
They don't lie
They don't promise forever
They just give you
Enough beautiful moments
To make you wish
The impossible was possible
You were never mine
And I think I always knew
But somehow
Knowing the truth
Didn't stop me loving you
Maybe you were not my mistake
Maybe you were my lesson
That a heart can feel something real
Even when it has nowhere to go
There is a space between us
And that's where I'll keep
The version of you
That only existed
With me
You hugged me goodbye
You said
See you tomorrow
And I smiled
Because tomorrow
Was the closest thing
I had to forever
