I Miss You’re Eyes [Rendition]

[Intro] I still hear the sirens in the rain Blue lights bleeding through the dark again The ring I never gave still cuts against my hands And every night still speaks your name [Verse 1] I never thought the highway would divide us Never thought goodbye would come that fast Your coffee in the cup holder was still warm When the glass and metal took you from my grasp Now your jacket’s folded in the backseat Like you’ll wake and ask me where we are But the night they pulled me from the wreckage Left me breathing with the pieces of my heart [Pre-Verse 1] I had forever hidden in my pocket A promise waiting on one trembling knee I was gonna ask you by the water Then watch forever turn to you and me [Chorus 1] I miss your eyes The way they held me when the world went numb I miss your eyes The only place I ever felt enough I was too late Now every promise echoes through the dark I never imagined I’d lose you Before I gave you my heart [Verse 2] Your number’s still inside my phone like poison I trace your name but never press the call There’s shattered glass still living in my memory And your last breath still echoes through it all And I remember how you turned and smiled softly Streetlights painting gold across your face I should’ve reached into my coat and showed you The little silver future I had saved [Pre-Verse 2] Every memory comes back in slow motion Every dream still ends in flashing red I keep hearing metal twist around us And your name inside the silence in my head [Chorus 2] I miss your eyes The way they found me when I lost myself I miss your eyes Now every night is just a living hell I was too late And all the things I never said still burn I never imagined I’d lose you Before I had my turn [Breakdown 1] So I wear this regret like a chain around my neck Every second, every breath You were sitting right beside my future And I watched it die in twisted steel and death [Verse 3] If I could go back to that moment I’d pull us off that road and make time wait I’d stop the rain, kill every light around us And place that ring inside your shaking hands I’d tell you every life was meant to find you That every road I walked led straight to this That I was yours before the crash could take you And all I ever wanted was to live like this [Pre-Verse 3] I keep carrying the wreckage of that evening Through every sleepless mile and haunted dawn And though your memory keeps me breathing It’s the reason I still can’t move on [Bridge] You were the home I never deserved The vow I never got to say Now I’m stranded in the wreckage With all the years we’ll never make [Breakdown 2] I still see your face in every window Still hear your voice beneath the rain No matter how far I keep running I come back to your name [Outro] I miss your eyes The way they carried all my broken parts I miss your eyes Now all that’s left is this abandoned heart
