After Midnight

**[Intro]**
Yeah, yeah
After midnight...
When the whole world goes quiet
That's when I hear you the loudest

**[Verse 1]**
2 AM, I'm staring at the ceiling
Trying not to think about the way I'm feeling
Your name still lighting up my mind
Even though I know I left it all behind

City lights dancing on my window
Funny how the memories never let go
I told myself that I'd be alright
But I miss you most after midnight

**[Pre-Chorus]**
I don't wanna call, I don't wanna know
If you're thinking of me when you're alone
I keep telling my heart to let it go
But every time the night gets cold...

**[Chorus]**
After midnight, I lose my mind
Thinking 'bout the days when you were mine
I say I'm fine, but that's a lie
Your shadow follows me through every night

After midnight, when the lights fade
I hear every word that we never said
Maybe someday I'll leave you behind
But tonight you're living in my mind
After midnight

**[Verse 2]**
Old photographs buried in my phone
I should delete them, but I leave them alone
Some memories don't know how to disappear
They come back stronger when nobody's here

I wonder if you ever miss my voice
Or if leaving me was an easy choice
Maybe we were never meant to last
Still, I keep running back to the past

**[Pre-Chorus]**
I don't wanna call, I don't wanna know
If you're thinking of me when you're alone
I keep telling my heart to let it go
But every time the night gets cold...

**[Chorus]**
After midnight, I lose my mind
Thinking 'bout the days when you were mine
I say I'm fine, but that's a lie
Your shadow follows me through every night

After midnight, when the lights fade
I hear every word that we never said
Maybe someday I'll leave you behind
But tonight you're living in my mind
After midnight

**[Bridge]**
Maybe tomorrow I'll wake up different
Maybe your memory won't feel so vivid
Maybe I'll finally stop asking why
Maybe I'll sleep without you on my mind

But right now...
The moon is high
The room is quiet
And I still see your eyes

**[Final Chorus]**
After midnight, I lose my mind
Thinking 'bout the days when you were mine
I say I'm fine, but that's a lie
Your shadow follows me through every night

After midnight, when the lights fade
I hear every word that we never said
Maybe someday I'll leave you behind
But tonight you're living in my mind

**[Outro]**
After midnight...
I know I'll be alright
Just not tonight
Not after midnight...
