Shades of You

Verse 1

Midnight on the dashboard

Your hand resting on my thigh

We drove for miles through the static air

Pretending we were fine

I memorized the curve of your neck

The way you hummed old songs

Now I trace the empty seat beside me

Hoping you'd come along

Pre-Chorus

But the road keeps bending

And you keep going on

I'm standing at the intersection

Where we used to be strong

Chorus

We'll never be together again

I whisper it until it's true

We'll never be together again

But I still dream in shades of you

Hold me now like the old days

Nothing feels the same

We'll never be together again

And I'm learning to say your name

Verse 2

I found your sweater in the closet

Still smells like your perfume

I held it up like evidence

Of everything we consumed

You said forever had a limit

Didn't know you meant this soon

Now I'm counting all the hours

That we spent under that moon

Pre-Chorus

But the tide keeps turning

And you keep moving forward

I'm writing letters to your ghost

In ink that grows colder

Chorus

We'll never be together again

I whisper it until it's true

We'll never be together again

But I still dream in shades of you

Hold me now like the old days

Nothing feels the same

We'll never be together again

And I'm learning to say your name

Bridge

Maybe loving you

Meant learning how to let you go

Maybe holding on

Was never meant to bend the flow

I carry you

Like an old scar on my skin

And I wake up grateful

That we got to begin

Chorus

We'll never be together again

I whisper it until it's true

We'll never be together again

But I still dream in shades of you

Hold me now like the old days

Nothing feels the same

We'll never be together again

And I'm learning to say your name

Outro

Learning to say your name

Mm

Learning to let it fade

Mm-hmm

Learning to love the ache

Yeah

Learning to be okay
