Your Side of the Bed

[HOOK / OPENING]

I still reach for your side of the bed
Like you're gonna be there when I wake up again
It's stupid, I know, but I haven't moved on
My hands remember you when you're gone

[VERSE 1]

Your coffee cup is still up on the shelf
I keep saying I'll put it somewhere else
Your number's still there, but I don't call
I just stare at the screen when the evening falls

I take the long way home sometimes
Just to pass the place where you used to wait outside
Everything changed, but the strangest part
Is how your leaving still feels like yesterday

[PRE-CHORUS]

And every little thing I do
Still finds a way back to you
I tell myself I'm getting through
Then midnight proves I haven't moved

[CHORUS]

I still reach for your side of the bed
Still turn around when I hear footsteps
Still type your name, then leave it unsent
Like maybe this isn't really the end

I don't miss every day we had
I miss who I was when you were mine
And that's the part I can't forget
I still reach for your side of the bed

[VERSE 2]

Your jacket isn't hanging by the door
But sometimes I swear I see it there once more
I laugh with friends, I say I'm fine
Then your favourite song comes on at the wrong time

I've learned how to sleep alone
I've learned how to make this place feel like my own
But some nights I still leave the light on
Like you're coming home before the morning

[PRE-CHORUS]

And every little thing I do
Still finds a way back to you
I tell myself I'm getting through
Then midnight proves I haven't moved

[CHORUS]

I still reach for your side of the bed
Still turn around when I hear footsteps
Still type your name, then leave it unsent
Like maybe this isn't really the end

I don't miss every day we had
I miss who I was when you were mine
And that's the part I can't forget
I still reach for your side of the bed

[BRIDGE]

Maybe one day this room won't feel
Like half of something that was real
Maybe I'll wake up and finally know
How to let the last piece go

[FINAL CHORUS]

I still reach for your side of the bed
But I'm starting to sleep through the silence instead
Still type your name, then delete it again
Maybe this is how letting go begins

I don't miss every day we had
I miss who I was when you were mine
And maybe that's what I won't forget
But I won't reach for your side of the bed
