Coffee Shop Love (feat. Max Bridgeman) [Special Version]

Just wanted coffee on a day so plain
Days stood reviving forgotten pain
Tears in my eyes, a heart so drained
Tried to shield myself, but it was all in vain

You read me like an open book in your sight
I stammered hello under the coffee shop light
Your surprise turned to a smile so bright
The one I dreamt of through many nights

You never won me, I yearned for us
While you chased shadows, you were someone else's loss
A Florence Nightingale for the broken, the lost
I was just a facade, a line you never crossed

Have you known my path, my silent screams
Would you have seen me in your dreams
But there we were, a moment so surreal
Behind my sunglasses, emotions I conceal

Back to twenty, insecure and young
Filled with dreams where our song was unsung
A brief eternity in seconds that hung
A hugged hello, words left on my palm

You with your smile, me with my past
A moment in line to point you to lust
The laughter, the talk about days gone by
Parting with a hug and unspoken goodbye

You're a memory, a scar, a story old
In your presence, my hidden tales unfold
I'm complete now, your sight made me whole
A chapter of the past in my soul scroll

But love's not the same, you're the whisper of the past
A flicker of a flame in the coffee shop light
I finally see I'm all on my own
It's just me, just me
