The city sleeps beneath a velvet sky,
And I'm still here, wondering why
You left your coffee cold upon the table,
Your words unspoken, love unstable.


The curtains dance with shadows on the wall,
I hear your footsteps echo down the hall,
But when I turn, there's nothing there but air,
Just memories floating everywhere.

And I keep asking myself tonight,
Were we wrong, or were we right?
The answers hide in shades of grey,
Like dawn that steals the stars away.

Midnight conversations in my mind,
Searching for the words I couldn't find,
Your voice still lingers, soft and low,
In every place I try to go.

Midnight conversations, bittersweet,
Dancing shadows at my feet,
I'm learning how to let you go,
But darling, it's so slow, so slow.

Remember when we walked along the Seine?
You held my hand through summer rain,
We promised things that lovers always do,
I meant each word, I thought you did too.

The photographs are fading in their frames,
But I still whisper all your names,
The secret ones I gave you in the dark,
When love was just a burning spark.

Now seasons change without your touch,
I never knew I'd miss so much
The simple way you'd hold me near,
The way you'd chase away my fear.

Midnight conversations in my mind,
Searching for the words I couldn't find,
Your voice still lingers, soft and low,
In every place I try to go.

Midnight conversations, bittersweet,
Dancing shadows at my feet,
I'm learning how to let you go,
But darling, it's so slow, so slow.

Maybe love was never meant to stay,
Maybe hearts were built to break this way,
But in the ruins, something beautiful remains,
Like flowers growing after heavy rains.

I'm not the woman that I used to be,
Your leaving somehow set me free,
To find the strength I never knew,
Was hiding underneath the blue.

The morning comes with golden light,
Erasing traces of the night,
I make my coffee, strong and black,
And finally stop looking back.

There's beauty in this solitude,
A quiet, gentle gratitude
For everything we used to share,
The love that once was really there.

So here's to you, wherever you may be,
I hope you found what you couldn't find in me,
And when you hear this melody someday,
Remember how we used to sway.

Midnight conversations in my mind,
Searching for the words I couldn't find,
Your voice still lingers, soft and low,
But now I'm ready, I can let you go.

Midnight conversations, bittersweet,
Dancing shadows at my feet,
I've learned to love the letting go,
And watch the healing river flow.

The stars are fading one by one,
Another midnight nearly done,
I close my eyes and finally rest,
Knowing I gave you my best.

Tomorrow brings another day,
New conversations, new things to say,
But tonight I'll hold you in my dreams,
Where nothing's ever what it seems.

Midnight conversations in my mind,
(In my mind, in my mind)
Searching for the peace I finally find,
Your voice becomes a gentle glow,
A part of me that helped me grow.
