Blank Stares Lyrics

Ok, I just was wondering
What, what you were doing and I wanna, um
I wanted to say happy, um

There's a voicemail that I keep
I listen to it, just to hear you speak
"Hey, son," turns to silence just like that
No "I love you" or "goodbye"
Like you saw the phone in your hand and you didn't know why
It's crazy how you come and go so fast

Oh, how do I get you back
If I could only seal the cracks you're slipping through
Wish I didn't feel so helpless when it comes to helping you
Hold on, so I keep holding on
To every little memory made of you and me
Every little glimpse of who you used to be
I know you're still in there
Deep down somewhere I swear I still see you
Between the blank stares

It's the first thing that I think about
When I wake up and when I lay down
It's the last thing I feel crawling through my mind
I'm still trying to understand it
Sitting next to you holding your hand
And hoping you won't fade away this time

Just stay a little while
Please stay a little while
If I can only seal the cracks you're slipping through
Wish I didn't feel so helpless when it comes to helping you
Hold on, so I keep holding on
To every little memory made of you and me
Every little glimpse of who you used to be
I know you're still in there
Deep down somewhere I swear I still see you
Between the blank stares

It's getting harder and harder
To watch you disappear
Oh, you're falling farther and farther
And leaving me in tears

If I could only seal the cracks you're slipping through
Wish I didn't feel so helpless when it comes to helping you
Hold on, but I keep holding on
To every little memory made of you and me
Every little glimpse of who you used to be
I know you're still in there
Deep down somewhere I swear I still see you
Yeah, I still see you
Between the blank stares

Between the blank stares
