When The Light Left

### **[Verse 1 – Clean / Intimate]**

I still sleep on your side of the bed
Like you might come home
Your jacket’s hanging by the door
But I know you won’t

Every word you said still echoes
In the cracks of these walls
I keep talking to the silence
Like it hears me at all

### **[Pre-Chorus – Rising]**

I tried to move on, I tried to pretend
But your name is stitched under my skin

### **[Chorus – Big / Emotional]**

You were the light when I was fading
Now I’m lost inside the dark
If love’s a wound that never heals
You left it carved into my heart

I gave you everything I had
You watched me fall apart
You were the light when I was fading
Now the night is all that’s left

### **[Verse 2 – Clean → Grit]**

I replay the night you walked away
Like it might change this time
Your eyes were empty, your hands were cold
You didn’t even lie

You said “it’s not your fault” so softly
Like that makes it okay
But silence hurts a little more
Every fucking day

### **[Pre-Chorus – Tension]**

I scream your name into the crowd
But you don’t turn around

### **[Chorus – Full Instrumentation]**

You were the light when I was fading
Now I’m drowning in the dark
I tried to hold what we were building
But you tore it all apart

I gave you everything I had
You watched me fall apart
You were the light when I was fading
Now the night is all that’s left

### **[Bridge – Soft Clean → Explosive]**

If I disappear tonight
Would it even cross your mind?
Or was I just a chapter
You were done rereading?

### **[Final Chorus – Emotional Peak]**

You were the light when I was fading
Now I’m learning how to breathe
With your shadow on my chest
And the weight of what you did to me

I gave you everything I had
You watched me fall apart
You were the light when I was fading
Now the night is all that’s left

### **[Outro – Quiet / Fading]**

I still sleep on your side of the bed…
Just in case.
