The Nights Last Longer Than They Used To

[Intro]
Nights... ( nights...)

[Verse 1]
Your note on the counter, "I can't do this anymore."
Door clicks shut, and the room spins sideways.
I stare at the wall like it's gonna explain ( why... why...)
why my chest feels cracked open wide.

Phone rings once—your voice, then silence.
I flinch like it's thunder, but it's just rain. ( rain...)
The bed's too big, the air too thick—
did I dream us, or did you just vanish? ( vanish... gone...)

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm hooked on the "what ifs"... (ifs... ifs...)
Will the pull ever let go?

[Chorus]
The nights last longer than they used to ( longer...)
Staring at shadows that don't talk back (back...)
Heart pounding questions I can't ask ( ask me... ask me...)
The nights last longer than they used to( used to...)

The nights last longer than they used to ( than they used to...)
Your scent on the pillow, fading slow ( slow...)
If this is over, why won't you say so? ( say so... say...)
The nights last longer than they used to
Longer... longer... ( longer... )


[Verse 2]
I scroll old texts like they're medicine, (medicine... hurts...)
hit "send" on nothing, delete it fast.
The fridge light's my only company now, ( now...)
grabbing leftovers that taste like regret. ( regret... yeah...)

I miss your laugh in the stupidest ways— ( stupid... ha...)
coffee mugs clinking, feet on the dash.
Body aches for the warmth that's gone, ( gone...)
like quitting cold turkey from "us." ( us... us...)

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm hooked on the "what ifs"... ( ifs... ifs...)
Will the pull ever let go?

[Chorus]
The nights last longer than they used to ( longer...)
Staring at shadows that don't talk back (back...)
Heart pounding questions I can't ask ( ask me... ask me...)
The nights last longer than they used to (used to...)

The nights last longer than they used to (than they used to...)
Empty arms reaching for empty space
If you're not coming, why do I wait? ( wait... why wait...)
The nights last longer than they used to
Longer... longer... (longer...)

[Bridge]
I blame myself first—too much, too little, too wrong. ( wrong... yeah...)
What did I miss? What couldn't I fix? (fix...)
Then rage hits: you promised "forever," you liar. ( liar... liar...)
You walked like it was easy, left me in the fire.

But screw that—I'm done being the wreck. ( wreck... no more...)
I'm done letting your ghost call the shots. ( shots...)


[Final Chorus]
The nights last longer than they used to ( longer...)
But I'm filling the shadows with my own light ( light...)
Heart still asks, but I'm finding my fight ( fight... yeah...)
The nights last longer than they used to (used to...)

The nights last longer than they used to (than they used to...)
Not forever, though—not if I choose ( choose...)
One day I'll wake without missing you ( missing you... no more...)
The nights last longer than they used to
Longer... but shorter soon... (soon...)

[Outro]
Key in the bowl. ( bowl...)
Light off. (off...)
Morning might come different... ( different...)
Longer... longer... (longer... but not forever...)
