Such a You (Extended 1)

Chorus

There was never such a you

No one ever shows

Running out of hope in echoes of snow

All these quiet years, oh how they grow

Gentle sorrow, sweet and slow

Post-Chorus

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Verse 2

Candlelight flickers on an empty table

Every December is colder, more unstable

He wraps his coat tighter, shuffles through the square

Watching lovers pass by, pretending not to care

Pre-Chorus

Words he keeps rehearing

Warmth he never finds

Each season stings clearer

The space left behind

Chorus

There was never such a you

No one ever shows

Running out of hope in echoes of snow

All these quiet years, oh how they grow

Gentle sorrow, sweet and slow

Post-Chorus

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Bridge

Midnight bells are ringing, softly through the night

He closes tired eyes, dreaming of a different light

Still searching winter faces in the shifting street

Wishing for kindness in strangers he’ll meet

Chorus

There was never such a you

No one ever shows

Bare branches trembling under the snow

Silence in the streetlights, gentle and slow

Would it hurt less if he let hope go

Post-Chorus

Ooh, ooh, ooh
