I left the light on just in case
Still fold your side of the bed into place
Pretend you're just late, pretend you're just late
The mail's still empty, but I check it each day
Half-hoping your letters got lost on the way
Your ghost's still loud in the silence I crave
Like a shadow of words you never gave
I know the goodbye you never spoke
Still wraps around me like a heavy cloak
Maybe you meant to, maybe you choked
But I’m still here with things you never wrote
Letters I never held, words I never read
Left bleeding in my hands, screaming in my head
You erased your story before it could be said
But the pages still burn me in this empty bed
Sometimes I write you just to pretend
Ink bleeding down from a heart that won't mend
Sentences start but they don't find their end
Paper cuts deeper than you ever did, my friend
I know the goodbye you never spoke
Still wraps around me like a heavy cloak
Maybe you meant to, maybe you choked
But I’m still here with things you never wrote
Letters I never held, words I never read
Left bleeding in my hands, screaming in my head
You erased your story before it could be said
But the pages still burn me in this empty bed
Folded the dreams, sealed the screams
Signed "forever" but tore at the seams
Your silence says more than your leaving scheme
Still I’m writing the end you didn’t deem
Letters I never held, words I never read
Left bleeding in my hands, screaming in my head
You erased your story before it could be said
But the pages still burn me in this empty bed
I left the light on just in case
But you never planned to come back anyway
