"Not Around" lyrics

I know I didn't compliment you much back then
But now you're all I think about
I know I didn't say the things I should have said
All the words were caught in my mouth

I tried to keep it confident and cool back then
And that was all just part of the plan
This caving in my chest is making me a mess
And now you see the way that I am

And I've been trying to find the pieces
But you're the one that's walking away
And I regret not holding onto
Every single word that you said

So I'll sit here and write you a song
About all the times I did you wrong
And I hope you can hear me now
Even when you're not around

I stare at all the flowers on my windowpane
Reminding me that I was too late
Girl I know I messed it up but I hope it's enough
To show you how much you meant to me

And I've been trying to find the pieces
But you're the one that's walking away
And I regret not holding onto
Every single word that you said

So I'll sit here and write you a song
About all the times I did you wrong
And I hope you can hear me now
Even when you're not around

And I've been trying to find the pieces
But you're the one that's walking away
And I regret not holding onto
Every single word that you said

So I'll sit here and write you a song
About all the times I did you wrong
And I hope you can hear me now
Even when you're not around
Even when you're not around
