Winona - Henry Johnson

Somewhere along the line, I lost sight of who I was

Digging deeper the hole I tried to fill

Couldn’t be the one to give her what she deserved

My heart was somewhere else, where it had always been

Now that you’ve shown me who you are, I can’t look away

I’m burning, I just need you to see how far I’d reach

Felt something back when I bared my teeth for you

Got it backwards, the fear that’s with you was also with me

So, what we got

I can’t find the words to tell ya what we got

Walking early morning in the parking lot

God, I hope I’m more than just an afterthought

I’m in the rain

I feel like I’m running, running in the rain

Oh, that fire’s burning, burning in the way

Lord, I know I’m reaching, you’re too far away

Have you ever met someone that you don’t have to explain yourself to?

I used to say I didn’t have any regrets, but we both know that ain’t true

It’s intoxicating, uh huh

Well, what a twisted joke, that was supposed to be me

It’s always been you

Did you figure it out when I showed you?

I need to know

Did you hear what I told you?

Because I know, I know I didn’t say it so loud

And I’ve always thought you were

On your way back to me

I’ve lost the words

Show me how to write your name

I’ve seen enough

I’ll be waiting

Just say the word

Show me how to write your name

And I don’t think you know

What you’ve done for me

I didn’t know that it could feel like a dream

I’d crawl for you, on my hands and knees

I’ve lost the words

So show me how to write your name

I remember those sleepless nights

I swear I was one with you

I know that you felt it

But now I can’t even look at you

Cause in your nighttime

For once in my lifetime

I felt like someone knew

You don’t know what to do

I’d feel guilty too

I’ve got a tendency to think that I’m sure of it

My decision wavers so thin, I can’t believe

I know now that the choice that I made so hastily

Bit me hardest, how could I know?

You are still there

Now that you’ve shown me who you are, I can’t look away

I’m burning, I just need you to see

How far I’d reach

Felt something back when I broke my word to you

Got it backwards, the fear that’s with you was also with me

I saw the outcome that I chose under colored lights

On a chair by the bed, it’s too late now

I walk the streets that should be ours with an empty hand

Pining away for a dawn that will not break
