Running Through the Silence

City lights, reflections in the glass

Empty bottles counting moments I let pass

Old texts on my phone, haunting every night

Tried to make it right, you just left me on sight

Winter coats in June, ain't no seasons in my life

Only moved by the moon, chasing shade from the light

Thinking 'bout the days when you used to ride

Felt like we were made for a different sky

Now your voice is fading, don't ask me why

Guess I learned to let the good things die

I’ve been running through the silence, chasing late night calls

Numbing out the violence, hiding from it all

I know you hear my name in every song I write

But love don’t last forever in the city lights

New number, but your memory’s the code

Thousand faces round me, still I walk alone

Swerving to your street just to feel that pain

Raindrops hit the pavement, mixing with my shame

Oils on my canvas, painting what I lost

Every color bleeding—never count the cost

Thinking 'bout the days when you used to ride

Felt like we were made for a different sky

Now your voice is fading, don't ask me why

Guess I learned to let the good things die

I’ve been running through the silence, chasing late night calls

Numbing out the violence, hiding from it all

I know you hear my name in every song I write

But love don’t last forever in the city lights

I was yours and you were never mine for keeps

Promises in smoke, lost somewhere in these streets

Counting up regrets like I count the sheep

Sleep don’t come easy when the hurt runs deep

I’ve been running through the silence, chasing late night calls

Numbing out the violence, hiding from it all

I know you hear my name in every song I write

But love don’t last forever in the city lightsSearching for meaning as the sunrise creeps

My heart on the highway, lost in these beats
