We Never Really Ended lyrics

We never really ended We just stopped saying certain things out loud The relationship faded slowly But the feeling never fully left Every few months One of us reaches for the other again Like touching a bruise Just to see if it still hurts 2:31 AM Your name lights up my phone again And suddenly I'm twenty years old Waiting for your messages in the dark You still show up in my dreams Wearing that black winter coat Standing beneath fluorescent lights somewhere Looking like you're about to leave again Maybe some people aren't built to stay together Only to haunt each other beautifully For years We never really ended We just learned how to disappear temporarily Outside the snow keeps falling Soft enough to cover everything And somewhere in Madison tonight I know you're probably awake too Thinking about me For one brief moment Before moving on again
