Staring at the ceiling, waiting for the dawn
The shadows in the room are moving on
We're lying back-to-back, a thousand miles apart
Tracing empty lines across your guarded heart
The words we didn't say are heavy in the air
I'm reaching out for someone who isn't really there
It's like we're speaking languages we'll never learn to speak
The more I try to hold you, the more the foundation gets weak

And you don't see the gravity of what I feel
You think the distance is just part of the deal
I'm screaming in a whisper, but you never catch the sound
I'm lost in the silence, just waiting to be found
Oh, you don't understand, you're looking right through me
Like I'm a ghost in the house, like I'm a faded memory
I need you to listen, I need you to know
The pulse in my veins is moving too slow

The Sun begins to rise, you pull me to your side
Like nothing happened, like there's nothing left to hide
And I fall for the illusion, I let myself pretend
That this broken piece of us is finally on the mend
But then your eyes go cold, and I'm back inside the wall
Waiting for the sky to break, waiting for the fall
Does it ever scare you, this static in the dark?
How we lost the fire, and we're searching for the spark?

I'm not a stranger, I'm the one you used to know
So tell me why you let the distance grow
My dreams are unraveling, thread by tiny thread
And you're still living in the words that we never said

And you don't see the gravity of what I feel
You think the distance is just part of the deal
I'm screaming in a whisper, but you never catch the sound
I'm lost in the silence, just waiting to be found
Oh, you don't understand, you're looking right through me
Like I'm a ghost in the house, like I'm a faded memory
I need you to listen, I need you to know
The pulse in my veins is moving too slow

My heart is an open book, but you never read the page
We're just two lonely actors locked inside a cage
Don't look away
Please, understand me
Don't let it fade
Can't you understand me?
I'm right here
