Grieves - Smoke in the Night lyrics

I often wonder why we never made it home
And why it feels like all the effort
That we gave was never noticed
The pressure kept on building
Up and closing in and by the end, hell
I swear to god I couldn't swim
Like since when did all of this
Become so hard to walk around
I miss the music that influenced
Us to talk about it
We used to sit around for hours
Trying to find ourselves inside a
Song that made us want to
Stop and smell the flowers for a second
Just a single second's all I wanted
Now I feel like every star I use to
Find you with is falling out the sky
Now I can't even seem to find the time
And if I did, i doubt you'd even look me in
My eyes like you used to
Everything we had is just a story now
And anyway I see it it's
Impossible to word it out
Word of mouth says you still
Leave the candle lit
Hoping that somebody will notice and
Hold your hand through this

It wasn't anybody's fault
From the moment I was leaving I
Could feel it in my veins
Thought that I was someone that
Won't forget your name
You begged me to not get on that train
You told me that I wouldn't
Come back the same
I couldn't help myself from the
Minute I was leaving
I could feel it in my veins
I begged you not to stand in the rain
I told you that the weather
Around here don't change
You couldn't help yourself from
Believing that I'm someone
That won't forget your name

Every now and then I pick the phone up
And dial in your number and stare
At it for a moment
I never call, I never will
It's hard to focus
That's what we get for throwing
Love into the ocean
Tied, cutting ties stuck inside trying
To make it out i string it up write the line
And try and lay down
If I could find the peace of mind
To go and press rewind I'd
Do it in a second if I
Thought that I could stay around
For just a second, just a goddamn second
I would freeze the whole entire world
In place if it let me
You always told me I was
Gonna make a difference
I just never thought it'd be the
Kind that'd eventually split us
And I'm sorry
I never meant to leave you all alone
And have you living life with
A person over the phone
The folks from back home say you
Still leave the lantern lit
Hoping that somebody will notice and
Help you manage this

It wasn't anybody's fault
From the moment I was leaving I
Could feel it in my veins
Thought that I was someone that
Won't forget your name
You begged me to not get on that train
You told me that I wouldn't
Come back the same
I couldn't help myself from the
Minute I was leaving
I could feel it in my veins
I begged you not to stand in the rain
I told you that the weather
Around here don't change
You couldn't help yourself from
Believing that I'm someone
That won't forget your name
You begged me to not get on that train
You told me that I wouldn't
Come back the same
I couldn't help myself from the
Minute I was leaving
I could feel it in my veins
I begged you not to stand in the rain
I told you that the weather
Around here don't change
You couldn't help yourself from
Believing that I'm someone
That won't forget your name
