They told me to write a song
About someone I love
But for some reason it seems
Easier to say you were someone I loved
Not for my sake, but yours
‘Cause I see you trying so hard
To convince yourself that you’ve moved on
While your heart reaches for my hands
Baby, are you aching
From the pain that comes with the hiding
Baby, are you chasing
What you know you won’t want in the end
Baby, I know you’re aching
From the pain that comes with the lying
Baby, I know you’re chasing
What you know you won’t have in the end
We didn’t want things to end
The end came to us
We tried to run from it, escape it
But it caught up to us
So here I am singing you in my songs
While you’re singing her instead
Hoping one day someone will sing along
And you’ll want to sing with me instead
Baby, are you aching
From the pain that comes with the hiding
Baby, are you chasing
What you know you won’t want in the end
Baby, I know you’re aching
From the pain that comes with the lying
Baby, I know you’re chasing
What you know you won’t have in the end
Yeah, I know it’s easier sometimes
To fake a smile, to fake a laugh
But baby, you shouldn’t have to do that
You shouldn’t have to do that
No
Baby, are you aching
From the pain that comes with the hiding
Baby, are you chasing
What you know you won’t want in the end
Baby, I know you’re aching
From the pain that comes with the lying
Baby, I know you’re chasing
What you know you won’t want in the end
