Northern Lights (I’m not the one)
(I love to write with instrumentals in the background - please listen along to feel the emotions of the writing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSdabrGFPIg)
If I could write your name in the sky
And reflect in your eyes the northern lights
Would you still find home in my arms
After I convince you that I’m not the one
You found your way in and you set up your stay
You’re just like a song that I keep on replay
Every lyrics a memory I hold close to my heart
And I listen again when I’m falling apart
Blue October on main, your voice singing in key
Holding the tears as you sang harmonies
The way that you danced like a heartbreak queen
I watched your reflection in the tv screen
I wish I could give you what you’ve given me
The escape from reality in memories
The one who would give you nothing but love
But I already know that I’m not the one
If I could write your name in the sky
And reflect in your eyes the northern lights
Would you still find home in my arms
After I convince you that I’m not the one
If the trees in the forest called out for you
And the waves on the shore helped to show you the truth
Would you still find home in my arms
After I convince you that I’m not the one
It’s kills me inside that you sing for another
But I shouldn’t describe how I feel to the other
It’s okay to let go I’ve accepted this fate
And I know that there couldn’t be any another way
After I die and I’m lost to the fog
Kill all of our memories kill them all kill them off
It’s easy this way so you don’t have to stay
Just remember to leave your flowers up on my grave
I’ll remember you fondly as I drift in the aether
Find peace in the fact you won’t miss me either
Love deeply and truly I hope that you’re happy
Live your best life knowing it is without me
If I could write your name in the sky
And reflect in your eyes the northern lights
Would you still find home in my arms
After I convince you that I’m not the one
Erasing your name that I wrote in the sky
Your eyes now shine bright like the northern lights
What I loved I set free as I opened my arms
After I convinced you that I’m not the one
