Back In The Night

Don't say goodbye like you mean it I know that look in your eyes Every time I try to forget you You come back in the night Don't say goodbye like you mean it Don't leave me here with the time Every time I think that it's over You come back in the night You come back You come back You come back in the night Funny how you call when the lights get bright Wasn't much to say when it wasn't going right Now it's two in the morning, your name on my screen Like I don't remember how quiet it used to be I was down, stayed low, still handled mine Had a lot in my head, never showed no signs Now you see things moving, suddenly got time Funny how that works... yeah, funny every time I don't ask where you been I can tell from the timing Love sound different when everything climbing Everybody close when somebody watching I notice who stays when nobody's around Had too many hands out, learned what it meant Some only come close when they think you need them Then you stop needing anything from anybody That's when you see who was really there I don't need closure Nah, leave that where it was Had your chance back then Don't come back because You ain't miss me You miss what you see now That's different I remember nights with the phone on mute Nobody checking, still made it through Now it's I'm proud of you, like we did this together Read it once, put the phone back down No hard feelings I just move different now You can tell me whatever I know what happened Had to cut a few ties just to see things clearer Now the room smaller, but it feel way better You come back in the night Keep the sorry, I'm good where I'm at Don't need to fix what I don't want back Lost a few people, yeah, had to happen Now I know who's here when nothing's happening Got good at leaving things where they fell Stopped giving chances just to prove myself Everybody got something to say from outside Different when you're the one living through it Long nights, same clothes, dinner went cold Still writing things down like somehow I'd know Couldn't call nobody, so I carried my own Now they talk like they watched the whole thing grow Nah... You weren't there for that part When everything slowed and it started getting dark When I had more doubt than money in the bank Still got up next morning and did it again Now it's congratulations every other day People love you different when you're doing okay I don't need revenge Don't even feel that way Doing better now says enough anyway I know what that cost I was there for it Know how it feels when nobody's coming Had to put pride down, let the ego go quiet Built it up slow till the work started talking Nothing came quick Not one bit Every little step had something attached Every door that closed made me stop looking back Now they act surprised like they ain't see that I don't need everybody coming back around Some things end better when they stay shut down If you weren't there when there wasn't a crowd Don't come looking for a seat 'cause it's louder now I can tell when the love got strings on it Tell when how you been, got something behind it Tell when a check-in ain't really a check-in So I let that screen light up... Then go dark. You come back You come back You come back in the night So if your name light up late at night I might look once, then I kill that light Some people come back when the timing feels right But what left in the day can stay gone in the night You come back You come back You come back in the night
