Lyrics

[Chorus] Always on my mind Every day, every night, your star burns so bright Why did I push you away? I was scared sometimes You had a power like a lightnin' strike When I'm on stage, sometimes I lie Say that I love singing these songs you left behind And I know you always said, "It's okay to cry" So I know I can cry, I can cry, so I cry [Verse 1] Wish I'd tried to pull you closer You pushed me hard, made me focus Your words, brutal, loving, truthful I was petrified You're a hero and a human Track was done, I'd make excuses You'd say, "Come on, stay for dinner" I'd say, "No, I'm fine" (Now I really wish I'd stayed) [Chorus] Always on my mind Every day, every night, your star burns so bright Why did I push you away? I was scared sometimes You had a power like a lightnin' strike When I'm on stage, sometimes I lie Say that I love singing these songs you left behind And I know you always said, "It's okay to cry" So I know I can cry, I can cry, so I cry [Verse 2] Guilty feelings keep me fractured Got a phone call after Christmas Didn't know how I should act I watched you dance online Your sounds, your words live on, endless When I make songs, I remember Things you'd suggest, "Make it faster" Would you like this one? (Maybe just a little bit?) [Chorus] Always on my mind Every day, every night, your star burns so bright Why did I push you away? I was scared sometimes You had a power like a lightnin' strike When I'm on stage, sometimes I lie Say that I love singing these songs you left behind And I know you always said, "It's okay to cry" So I know I can cry, I can cry, so I cry [Outro] I, I, I I, I, mm
