I Just Need the Sky

Some old dreams I’ve never said aloud
Some old streets I still don’t walk around
Maybe you have seen the signs, maybe wondered why
Was it hope or just a lie?
Half of me still burns, half fades out
Memories I keep make silence scream out loud
My heart feels so hollow, but that don’t mean
You’re the one it should be built around
Like the leaves that fall and find the ground
Maybe you just passed through town
Maybe you were never mine
But I still tried to make you stay somehow
I just need the sky
Not someone passing by
The nights I tried
Left the gate wide open just to feel alive
Loneliness is kind
It gives me all and makes my tears ignite
I just need the sky
Been counting weeks gone by
You don’t have to reply
I just got used to dreams I can’t deny
And it’s bitter, but it’s true
That the last bit of peace—I gave it to you
If you say I
Always hide and cry
If that’s why you
Let go and said goodbye
Then why can’t you leave me one chance tonight
Just don’t say goodbye
Try and trust this side
You might see the light
All I ever need
Is not someone to fight
I just need the sky
Not someone passing by
The nights I tried
Left the gate wide open just to feel alive
Loneliness is kind
It gives me all and makes my tears ignite
I just need the sky
Been counting weeks gone by
You don’t have to reply
Just know I never learned how to lie
It’s bitter, but it’s true
That the last bit of peace—I gave it to you
