Lyrics:
I remember how you’d turn and smile right on cue.
We had a life that looked so perfect from the outside in.
But even in the quiet moments, something felt untrue.
Our story was a chapter I could not be in.

The sheets are cold upon your side of our old feather bed.
And I don’t have to lie awake with words I never said.
I packed away the photograph, the life I thought I knew,
‘Cause I’m not missing who I thought was you.

The night I left, I packed my bags; you never made a sound.
You just sat there in your easy chair and stared hard at the ground.
And in that final silence, I could finally see the truth.
You were just a boy I’d wasted all my youth on.

The sheets are cold upon your side of our old feather bed.
And I don’t have to lie awake with words I never said.
I packed away the photograph, the life I thought I knew,
‘Cause I’m not missing who I thought was you.

No, I’m not missing who I thought was you.
