Now and then
Your name comes up in conversation
With my friends
I hate I how much I feel it right there in my chest
I hate how much I feel it
like how are you
it seems like things are going really well for you
i wish that i could say the same about me too
wish i could say the same

and boy you know I’ve tried to pray
i’ve bruised my knees
i’ve tried to bring you back to me
i’ve tried my best to find some kind of peace
don’t you see

There’s a big black hole where my heart used to be
And I’ve tried my best to fill it up with things I don’t need
It don’t work like that no it’s not easy
To fill this gap that you left in me
There’s a big black hole where my heart used to be
and i wish that you would realise I’m all that you need
it don’t work like that no its not easy
to fill this gap that you left in me

without a trace
you disappeared and took some of me with you babe
like the way i used to laugh until my belly ache
well thats all gone away now

and boy you know I’ve tried to pray
i’ve bruised my knees
i’ve tried to bring you back to me
i’ve tried my best to find some kind of peace
don’t you see

There’s a big black hole where my heart used to be
And I’ve tried my best to fill it up with things I don’t need
It don’t work like that no it’s not easy
To fill this gap that you left in me
There’s a big black hole where my heart used to be
and i wish that you would realise I’m all that you need
it don’t work like that no its not easy
to fill this gap that you left in me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

There’s a big black hole where my heart used to be
And I’ve tried my best to fill it up with things I don’t need

How long can I leave the lights in the ceiling on?
And the static from the TV keeps me company till I'm gone
'Cause I rock back and forth
Reciting words that I've said wrong
I swear I've been doing fine
When I'm busy and got things going on
Oh, so girl, what you running from?

Oh, maybe there's something in the midnight hours
The midnight hours, you know
And maybe there's something in the dead of night
When I'm sleeping alone
Where I always see your face
God, I wish I didn't though
Can I have one night, one night, one night
Where it's just me alone?

Is it 'cause I've been feeling guilty all along?
Or is it the gods just tryna tell me to move on?
'Cause while you're haunting me, that's what you've done
Oh, so girl, what you running from? (Oh)

Oh, maybe there's something in the midnight hours
The midnight hours, you know (Something in the?)
Or maybe there's something in the dead of night
When I'm sleeping alone
Where I always see your face (I always see your face)
God, I wish I didn't though (I wish I didn't though)
Can I have one night, one night, one night
Where it's just me alone?

So I, I know what it feels like
So I can wake up in the daylight
And my chest ain't heavy
'Cause you're not there with me
Tell me when that I will be

Oh, 'cause I rock back and forth
Reciting words that I've said wrong
I swear I've been doing fine
When I'm busy and got things going on
So what am I running from?

Oh, maybe there's something in the midnight hours
The midnight hours, you know
Or maybe there's something in the dead of night
When I'm sleeping alone
Where I always see your face
God, I wish I didn't though
Can I have one night, one night, one night
Where it's just me alone? (Oh)

One night, one night, yeah
So can I have one night, one night, just one night
One night, one night, one night
Can I have one night, one night, just one night
Where it's just me alone?
