Soulmates by Midnight (Gone by Morning)

Verse 1

You came back when your world was shakin’

Lonely nights and heavy days

Said you missed the way I loved you

Said you never felt this way

You said, Baby I’ve grown up now

I’m not scared like I was before

Looked me in the eyes and promised

This was real—not just a storm

Said I was your soulmate

Said you’d never loved this deep

Said this time you’d stay forever

Said you were finally ready

And I believed you

Lord, I believed

Chorus

You said I was your forever

Said you’d never loved this way

We were soulmates in the midnight

Then you ran by break of day

You held me like you’d never leave me

Swore this time you’d stay till the end

But love feels safe in the darkness

And fear takes you by morning again

Gone by morning

Gone by morning light

Verse 2

This time I didn’t fall so fast

I watched your words line up with truth

You called every day, showed up steady

Like maybe love had finally grown roots

You pulled me closer, closer

Made it feel so real again

Every laugh, every soft moment

Felt like we were finally in

I felt my heart start breathin’

Started trustin’ what I saw

Started thinkin’ maybe this time

We were breakin’ all the walls

Chorus

You said I was your forever

Said you’d never loved this way

We were soulmates in the midnight

Then you ran by break of day

You held me like you’d never leave me

Swore this time you’d stay till the end

But love feels safe in the darkness

And fear takes you by morning again

Gone by morning

Gone by morning light

Bridge

I saw it in your eyes before you spoke

That distant look, that silent fear

My body knew before my heart broke

You were already disappearin’ from here

You said, I’m scared I’ll let you down

I don’t know if I can be enough

But every time it got real and steady

That’s when you started runnin’ from love

You wanted closeness when you were lonely

Wanted comfort when life felt cold

But when love felt safe and solid

That’s when fear took hold

Verse 3

First the texts got slower

Then the silence filled the space

Then you said you needed distance

Like love was something you couldn’t face

I held onto the night before

When you said I was your home

While you were already pullin’ away

Tryin’ to be alone

Chorus

You said I was your forever

Said you’d never loved this way

We were soulmates in the midnight

Then you ran by break of day

You kissed me like you meant it

Said you’d never leave again

But love feels safe in the darkness

And fear takes you by morning again

Gone by morning

Gone by morning light

Every time it felt like forever

You were gone by daylight

Outro

Now I finally understand it

It wasn’t me you couldn’t love

It was closeness you couldn’t stay with

When it stopped feelin’ like a rush

I was your calm and your fear

Your shelter and your storm

You came when you were lonely

But ran when love felt warm

Soulmates in the midnight

Gone by morning light
