Chasing Dreams

Please leave a message after the tone
I don't really know what I expected
I mean- at least it went to voicemail
I-I'm not blocked, you just don't... care
There's so many things I wanna say, and I don't-
You'll probably never hear this, but I
I think about you a lot, y'know-

I'm not a stranger of being in love
And I'm all too familiar with being alone
I find solace in helping to guide some to loving
And I keep hoping to take someone home

You're not a stranger with being mistreated
You're well-acquainted with just making do
You needed saving, and I was a white knight
I helped you to move on, you helped me push through

(It's hard to get over because I-)

I'll never trust you the same
But I'll never be free of your name

Your beautiful eyes were the hues of horizons
Your delicate skin just a point off of silk
But your mind, it has twisted you into a monster
Your heart left you hollow, in pain and distilled

It's not so crazy to be undecided
It's not abnormal to be insecure
But sooner or later, your fear brings you future
And in it, I think, is reason to withdraw

(I just want to be - ah, I don't know.)

I'll never trust you the same
But I'll never be free of your name

Your beautiful eyes were the hues of horizons
Your delicate skin just a point off of silk
But your mind, it has twisted you into a monster
Your heart left you hollow, in pain and distilled

The touch of your lips was like kissing an angel
The sting of your words felt just like getting shot
You gave me the world, then you tore me asunder
And left me in pieces; with all that I'm not

(I'm just scared that I wasn't as important to you)
(As I thought I was, y'know?)

In the quiet, I hear all the echoes
Of the promises we couldn't keep
In the darkness, I see all the shadows
Of the love that we buried so deep

But the memories linger, they're haunting me now
And I'm drowning in all that I've lost
Yet somehow, I find myself chasing the ghost
Of the person you were, at all costs

Your beautiful eyes were the hues of horizons
Your delicate skin just a point off of silk
But your mind, it has twisted you into a monster
Your heart left you hollow, in pain and distilled

The touch of your lips was like kissing an angel
The sting of your words felt just like getting shot
You gave me the world, then you tore me asunder
And left me in pieces; with all that I'm not

Your laughter would shine like a light through the darkness
Your silence would cut me like old, rusted knives
Your touch felt like warmth on a cold winter evening
But distrust turned to daggers, destroying our lives
Your love turned to daggers, destroying our lives

I- I guess what I'm trying to say is
That I hope this meant to you
As much as it meant to me
