you left me

[Intro – gentle piano arpeggios, faint reverb] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – soft piano melody, quiet vocal delivery] I traced the cracks in the kitchen wall Waited for your knock that never called The coffee’s cold, the lights are low I still reach for you when the radio [Verse 1 Continued – subtle cello hum, piano volume rises slightly] Plays that song we danced to last June I still taste the words you never consumed The silence’s loud, it’s hard to breathe I’m stuck in the space where you used to be [Pre-Chorus – building piano chords, vocal tension grows] I kept your hoodie in the back of the drawer Pretended I didn’t know what was in store I held on to every crumb of your smile Till you let it all crumble, mile after mile [Chorus – full piano chords, swelling strings, raw emotional vocals] I trieeeed, to hold on tooo tight and left when I needed you most I’m the one that’s left uncertain, I’m the one with my heart brokeeeee You lieeeeed, before you walked out and slammed my door I’m the one who remembers you have done this once before Gooo awayyyy and leave me as I’m left shaking to my core [Verse 2 – muted piano, vocal cracks with emotion] I found the note you hid under the mat Said you’d come back, but that was just that A lie wrapped in a pretty bow I should’ve known you’d never slow [Verse 2 Continued – piano picks up pace, faint violin trill] Down long enough to see what you had A love that didn’t make you feel bad But you ran from the quiet, ran from the calm Left me here to mend what you harmed [Pre-Chorus 2 – heavier piano chords, vocal strain intensifies] I counted the days till you’d come back home Ignored the way you’d leave me alone I gave you my all, every piece of me Till you turned your back and set me free [Chorus 2 – layered vocals, full string section, peak emotional delivery] I trieeeed, to hold on tooo tight and left when I needed you most I’m the one that’s left uncertain, I’m the one with my heart brokeeeee You lieeeeed, before you walked out and slammed my door I’m the one who remembers you have done this once before Gooo awayyyy and leave me as I’m left shaking to my core [Bridge – sparse piano, soft vocal whisper] I don’t know how to fix what’s broken Don’t know how to stop the hoping Every time the floorboards creak I think it’s you, come back to speak [Chorus 3 – stripped back piano, raw unfiltered vocals] I trieeeed, to hold on tooo tight and left when I needed you most I’m the one that’s left uncertain, I’m the one with my heart brokeeeee You lieeeeed, before you walked out and slammed my door I’m the one who remembers you have done this once before Gooo awayyyy and leave me as I’m left shaking to my core [Outro – fading piano, final vocal breath] The silence settles, the lights go down I’m still here, with my heart unbound
