Hmm-mmm-mmm
Ah-ah-ah
I watch you standing by the window frame
Rain drops trace patterns on the glass
Your silhouette against the fading day
Makes me wonder how long this will last
The coffee's getting cold between your hands
While I'm just sitting here trying to understand
Are you still there inside somewhere
Behind those tired eyes you wear
Remember when we used to talk for hours
About the places we would go someday
Now conversations feel like borrowed time
And every word seems so far away
You fold your arms and turn back to the street
I memorize the way you breathe
Are you still there inside somewhere
Behind those tired eyes you wear
I keep searching for the person that I knew before the weight began to show
In the morning when you wake up do you feel it too this distance that we never talk about
I see you fighting battles I can't see carrying burdens you won't share with me
Every smile seems practiced every laugh rehearsed like you're performing for the world but dying inside first
I want to reach across this space between us ask you what you're running from
But every time I try to bridge the gap you build the walls up twice as strong
So I just watch and wait and hope that maybe someday you'll remember who you used to be
Before the world convinced you that you had to hide the best parts of your heart from me
Ah-ah-ah-ah
(Still there, still there)
Mmm-mmm-mmm
(Behind those eyes)
Maybe tomorrow when the sun comes up
You'll let me see behind the mask you've built
Maybe tomorrow we can find a way
Back to the love we used to feel
Are you still there inside somewhere
Behind those tired eyes you wear
Are you still there inside somewhere
I'm waiting here, I'm waiting here
Hmm-mmm-mmm
(I'm waiting here)
Ah-ah-ah-ah
(Still waiting here)
