cynthia erivo - you're not here lyrics

[verse 1]
mmm..
i wish you knew the person i am
the way i hold my heart in my hands
the way i sing, like it’s the air that i breathe
people say it’s everything

i was so still, cracked my knuckles too
cause these were the two things, you taught me to do
they get on my mother’s nerves, maybe cause
i learned it from you, i hope one day
there’s more for me to choose
until that day, i wish this to be true

[chorus]
when i run, i’m running to your arms
and when i sing, i’m singing to your heart
i feel you near, in my moments of fear
but when i open up my eyes, i see it clear
it’s only in my dreams that you are here
you’re not here

[verse 2]
did you know, i dropped out of school?
nineteen years old, with a whole lot to prove
carried on through my doubts, all to figure out
who i was meant to be
ten year’s later, twenty+nine years old
got my poor heart broken, did it over the phone
was in a hotel room and i was all alone
i was alone

[chorus]
i wanted to run, run into your arms
and cry, while you held me to your heart
feel you near, in my moments of fear
but i open my eyes and wipe the tears
cause only in my dreams that you were here

[bridge]
and now you’re missing out on how i get to live the life
that i forever and a day had dreamed about
and it’s a shame you won’t be there, for the joy i’ve yet to share
because in spite of you i’m here, oh yes, i’m here
and i’m in love, and it’s for real, and you’ll never get to meet them
but i truly hope you’re happy where you are
it’s unfortunate we end before we start
i hope you know, i’ll always love you from afar
but i can’t ignore the part that wants to run..

[chorus]
run into your arms and sing
until it pierces through your heart
feel you near, in my moments of fear
i know that it’s a dream and you’re not here
i’m holding onto dreams cause you’re not here ‘
you’ll never be here
