[Intro – washed-out synths, soft breath] Mmm… Feels like the room’s fading out again… [Verse 1 – fragile, low] I left the light on, just the lamp by your side, The one you used to complain was way too bright. Your sweater’s on the chair where you left it last night— Guess I’m still learning how to lose you right. Every little thing you touched feels loud in my head, Echoes on the floorboards where we used to tread. Tried to sleep it off, but the silence instead Keeps replaying all the things I never said. [Pre-Chorus – drifting falsetto] Wish I could forget the shape of your voice, But it lingers in the walls like it didn’t have a choice… Tell me why the shadows still feel like you’re close— I don’t know… I don’t know. [Chorus – soft drop, echoing] It’s a half-lit goodbye, And I’m stuck in the space you left behind. Every breath is a maybe, every thought is a why— Why did we burn out slow, not die? It’s a half-lit goodbye, Still warm where your heartbeat used to lie… Wish I could dim you down, but you stay in my mind— A ghost stitched into time. [Verse 2 – heavier, resigned] Your cup on the counter’s still stained with tea, I swear your laughter’s still haunting me. I talk to myself like you’re about to speak— God, I didn’t know missing could make me this weak. Scrolling through the photos that I said I’d delete, But I don’t have the courage, and I’m stuck on repeat. You’re everywhere and nowhere, right under my skin— A story unfinished where I wanted an end. [Pre-Chorus – layered whispers] Wish I didn’t care, but the truth’s too loud… Wish I didn’t wait for a text you’re not sending now… Tell me why the dark still remembers your sound— I don’t know… I don’t know. [Chorus – fuller, aching] It’s a half-lit goodbye, And I’m stuck in the space you left behind. Every breath is a maybe, every thought is a why— Why did we burn out slow, not die? It’s a half-lit goodbye, Still warm where your heartbeat used to lie… Wish I could dim you down, but you stay in my mind— A ghost stitched into time. [Bridge – quiet collapse] Maybe in another life We don’t fall apart in the middle of the night. Maybe in another life Your name doesn’t hurt when it passes in my mind. But here… It still tears me up inside. [Final Chorus – soft, hollow, fading] It’s a half-lit goodbye… But I’m learning to stand without your light. Every step feels unreal, but I’ll try— Even ghosts fade if you let them with time. Half-lit goodbye… Half-lit… goodbye… [Outro – synth drift] Mmm… Still feels like you’re here.

Half Lit Goodbye
