I'm Rooting for You

[ Lyrics ]

I’m rooting for you… really.

Saw your story from the front row—
he was singing your name like he used to mine.
But your laugh cut through the speakers,
like you believed every line.
He leaned in close, hand on your waist,
the same way he danced with me that June.
But you didn’t lean back—
just met his eyes, solid like the moon.

I used to pray for nights like this,
silence where I’d beg for sound.
Now I watch you breathe through it,
like love don’t wreck you underground.

I’m rooting for you, really.
If he learned from me, maybe you’ll get it.
I’m rooting for you, truly.
Maybe this time, love won’t forget you.

You wore his jacket, but not too tight,
like you own your space inside his arms.
Left a gap where you end and he begins—
I used to disappear in the charm.
He texted late—'you still up?'—
and you replied, 'only for the encore.'
Not 'I miss you,' not 'where you at?'
Just a laugh, a door left open, no war.

I used to live in the cracks he made,
chase the version I thought was true.
You just stand in the light he gave,
and wear it better than I knew.

I’m rooting for you, really.
If he learned from me, maybe you’ll get it.
I’m rooting for you, truly.
Maybe this time, love won’t forget you.

If he sings you my favorite song,
don’t let that mean you’re in my place.
If he cries and says he’s changed,
just watch the way he holds your face.
Because I hope—
I really hope—
he’s different now.

I’m rooting for you, really.
If he learned from me, maybe you’ll get it.
I’m rooting for you, truly.
Maybe this time, love won’t forget you.
I’m rooting for you… 
Rooting for you… 

I’m not in the picture anymore,
but I’m in the front row of this.
