I gave your old blue sweater
To someone down the street
I thought a little empty space
Would make it easier to sleep
I changed the way I take the train
Avoided every place
But even in a crowded car
I still recall your face
The friends who used to ask me
Have learned to let it lie
I talk about the weather now
And laugh at all the right times
But when the city settles
And all the windows close
I hear the kind of silence
That nobody else knows
It's not a wish to turn around
Or ask you to come home
It's just a little weight I feel
When I am on my own
Some nights, some nights
I still hear you in the rain
Some nights, some nights
I can almost say your name
I don't want the past again
I know we had to walk away
I can leave our love behind
But I miss you anyway
Your birthday came and went
I didn't send a line
I watched the candles in a window
While the buses passed me by
I let the feeling find me
Then let it drift away
It doesn't have to take me back
To what we couldn't save
Some nights, some nights
I still hear you in the rain
Some nights, some nights
I can almost say your name
I don't want the past again
I know we had to walk away
I can leave our love behind
But I miss you anyway
I won't call it wasted
I won't call it a mistake
We gave each other all we had
And still watched something break
I'll make room for morning
For everything it brings
A heart can hold a little hurt
And still have room to sing
Some nights, some nights
I still hear you in the rain
Some nights, some nights
I can almost say your name
I don't want the past again
I know we had to walk away
I can leave our love behind
But I miss you anyway
