[Verse 1]
You were my heart, my life, my soul’s reign,
At every turn, I see your face, I hear your name.
You were the song I sang in my sleep,
Now you’re his and it cuts me deep.
You left me and for years I yearned,
as you wear the smile that I once earned
You pass me by like we never were one—
Not a blink, not a word, our love is done.
[Chorus]
But I remember the way you looked at me,
Like I was your forever, endlessly.
Now your heart is locked and he holds the key—
Like I am nothing, a past you have set free.
So I’ll smile through this quiet misery…
And miss the way…
The way you used to look at me.
[Verse 2]
Your eye's storms with something I don’t know
You look through me like we could never grow.
You deserve happiness that is true…
But I’d give anything to go back to you.
Because Gods, it hurts to breathe some days,
When I see your love in someone else’s gaze.
You were the roots of all I dreamed—
Now I’m a ghost in your world, it seems.
[Chorus]
But I remember the way you looked at me,
Like I was your forever, endlessly.
Now your heart is locked and he holds the key—
Like I am nothing, a past you have set free.
So I’ll smile through this quiet misery…
And miss the way…
The way you used to look at me.
[Bridge]
If I could steal one more yesterday,
I’d hold you tighter, beg you to stay.
I’d trade every breath for it to be
The way when you first loved me.
[Final Chorus]
Still I remember the way you looked at me,
Eyes full of fire, wild and free.
Now you’re his light, his memory—
But I’m still yours, though you can’t see.
[Outro – Softly]
You don’t look at me the same anymore…
But I still look at you
Like I always did before.
