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 lightning strike
When I'm on stage, sometimes I lie
Say that I like 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

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)

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 lightning strike
When I'm on stage, sometimes I lie
Say that I like 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

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?)

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 lightning strike
When I'm on stage, sometimes I lie
Say that I like 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

I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I
On my mind
