Every Face Looks Like You

Verse 1

I saw your shadow on a stranger downtown

Same kind of smile the same way she looked around

For half a second I forgot you were gone

My heart started racing like nothing went wrong

I turned away but the memory stayed

Funny how the past knows exactly where to wait

Now every street has a ghost in the view

Everywhere I go I keep running into you

Pre-Chorus

And I know she isn't you

But my heart don't know the truth

It keeps reaching for a hand

That disappeared before I knew

Chorus

Every face looks like you

Every couple makes me remember us two

Every laugh in the distance

Every touch I see

Brings back the girl you used to be

I close my eyes but I can't break through

'Cause even in my dreams I'm still finding you

I wake up alone but the nightmare feels true

I'm haunted by your memory

Every face looks like you

Verse 2

Saw a couple dancing underneath the rain

The way he held her looked like you and me again

She laid her head against his chest

And suddenly I was back inside our best

Those little moments I thought I'd buried deep

Come crawling through the silence when I'm trying to sleep

I hear your voice when the room gets quiet

And the more I fight it the more I deny it

Pre-Chorus

I tell myself I'm over you

I say the past is through

But every road I walk tonight

Still somehow leads to you

Chorus

Every face looks like you

Every couple makes me remember us two

Every kiss in the moonlight

Every hand they hold

Feels like watching our story being told

I close my eyes but I can't break through

'Cause even in my dreams I'm still finding you

I wake up alone but the nightmare feels true

I'm haunted by your memory

Every face looks like you

Bridge

Last night you came to me again

We were laughing like we never reached the end

You whispered I never left you

Then I woke up reaching for you

Cold sheets empty room

Morning came much too soon

For a moment I could swear

I felt your fingers through my hair

Then reality pulled me back

Another dream another crack

How can someone disappear

And still feel so damn near

Breakdown

Maybe I'm not missing you

Maybe I'm missing who I was with you

Maybe that's why every stranger

Turns into your face

Maybe that's why every lover

Takes me back to that place

Final Chorus

Every face looks like you

Every couple makes me remember us two

Every heartbeat in the darkness

Sounds like your name

Every memory finds a way back again

I close my eyes but I can't break through

My dreams keep building worlds where I'm still with you

And when morning comes there's nothing I can do

I'm haunted by your memory

I'm haunted by the things we knew

Outro

So if you see me staring at a stranger passing by

Don't ask me what I'm seeing in her eyes

She's not you

I know she's not you

But for one little second

She looked like you

And that's enough

To break me all over again
