Lullaby
Nadine Coyle Lyrics

I can't help but stare at your shirt on the chair
I'm constantly reminded of you, even inanimate objects like a shirt left on the chair, and it's hard to forget you

It's been watching me cry for weeks
The shirt has been there as I've cried and felt the pain of missing you for weeks

And I can still see your face watching my heart break
Even pictures of us that once made me smile, now only highlight how much I miss you and how brokenhearted I am

In the pictures of you and me
Looking at old pictures of us only makes me feel worse because you're not here with me now

And I can't help listen to my heart missing
Despite my best efforts, my heart constantly longs for your touch and presence since you left

Your touch ever since you've been gone
I ache for the physical comfort and love you provided me, and it's been hard since you went away

I try to block it out, but it's going round and round
Trying to ignore my feelings only makes it worse, it feels like they're circling around in my head

You're stuck in my head like a song.
Thoughts of you are so pervasive and repetitive in my mind that they feel like a never-ending song that plays over and over

So I just sing a lullabye-bye, baby bye-bye
I try to calm myself down by singing a lullaby, telling myself that it's okay and that you'll come back soon

But my heart is saying it's not the end
Despite trying to reassure myself, my heart refuses to believe that it's over and that we won't see each other again

Cause I know I'm gonna see you again
I hold onto the belief that we will be reunited in the future, and that gives me hope

Call me crazy but I know you're gonna walk through that door
I have a strong intuition that you're coming back to me, even if it seems insane to others

Soon as I turn around
I always anticipate seeing you when I turn around, but you're never there

It's like your voice in the air and it sounds so sincere
Sometimes it feels like I can hear your comforting voice reassuring me that everything will be okay, it's so real that it's hard to believe you're not here

Saying there's nothing to worry about
When I imagine your voice, it's always soothing and positive, reassuring me that everything will be alright without you here

It's written in a melody, that we were meant to be
I believe that you and I are meant to be together, it's written in the songs and stories we love and in our own memories together

With me is where you belong, and as long as you're away babe
I know in my heart that you belong with me, but while you're away I'll be waiting patiently for you to return

I'll be here waiting just singing this song
I'll keep missing you and longing for your return, but I'll keep singing this song to keep my spirits up and remind myself of our love

I know it won't be long, just singing this song
I don't know when you'll come back, but I believe it will be soon, and in the meantime I'll keep singing this song to bring myself comfort

I know you'll be coming home, yeah!!!
I believe with every fibre of my being that you'll be returning home to me soon, and I can't wait for that moment

See you again (Bye-bye, bye-bye)
This refrain repeats to remind me of my firm belief that we'll be reunited soon and that everything will be okay

See you again, again, again...
I hold onto this phrase, repeating it over and over as if to manifest your return and keep the hope alive until we meet again
