Every Time

Every time I see your face, I reminisce our past
I remember all the good times, and how they didn't last
Every time I hear your voice, I remember the ghost of you
I remember all the fun we had, and how I thought it was true

Every time radio is on, I hear our favourite song
I remember all the "I love you's" and how it never felt wrong
But every time I see you pass, I remember that one photograph
And I get this overwhelming urge to stomp you on my heart's behalf

Every time someone passes me, I keep thinking it's you
And I wonder, do you also sit down and think of me too?
Do you remember my 11:11 wishes with every star you see?
Or am I the only one missing while you forgot about me?

Every time the sun rises, I wake up and look at my phone
Maybe you missed me? But there's nothing but betrayal in your bone.
Every time I see people together, my heart hurts and I wince
Because the thought of us apart is just hard to reminisce.

What if maybe I'm the one who's missing you all alone.
What if I'm the stranded one, left blinded in the twilight zone
What if I'm the one, too naïve and damn too blind to see
That the person you wanted all along, just wasn't me.

Now everything changed, because I'm no longer blind
I'm no longer the girl you can so easily find
I stopped asking myself what if and what could've been
Because these questions are the reason for the state I'm in

Every time I see the sunset, I remember everything comes to an end
So I can finally move on, and stop this lame game of pretend
Now every time I pass you by, I don't feel nothing whatsoever
Not since the day you left, when you promised we'd always be together
