You Left Me In The Dark

[Intro]
(whispered, broken)
You said you’d stay…
But ghosts don’t promise, do they?
(static, breath)
You left… you left…

[Verse 1]
I built my trust from shadow and flame,
You wore a mask, I still learned your name.
You pulled me close — said I was safe,
Then vanished like you never had a face.
(why’d you go? why’d you go?)

Every night you haunt my air,
You were my calm, my silent prayer.
Now I wake to empty space,
and curse the dream I can’t replace.

[Pre-Chorus]
I begged the dark to send you back,
Got nothing but the echo’s crack.
You said I’d never be alone,
Guess that lie turned into stone.
(you lied… you lied…)

[Chorus]
You left me in the dark — no warning, no sound,
You built me up, then tore me down.
I screamed your name into the night,
But even ghosts don’t fight.
You left me in the dark — and it’s cold,
Every promise turned to mold.
You said “I’ll stay,” then disappeared —
Now I face the dark you feared.

[Verse 2]
I still check the corners of my sleep,
For the shape of you I couldn’t keep.
You were my mask, my fight, my flame,
Now I’m just ashes whispering your name.
(come back… come back…)

[Bridge]
Did I dream you just to break me?
Did you save me just to erase me?
Every breath — a scar, a mark,
You left your silence in my heart.
(you left… you left…)

[Chorus]
You left me in the dark — no goodbye,
You let me fall while you could fly.
I’m not your shadow anymore,
I’m the fire you ignored.
You left me in the dark — but I’ll burn,
Watch me glow when it’s my turn.
You left me in the dark —
Now it’s your ghost who’ll learn.

[Outro]
I don’t need your mask…
I wear my own now.
(you left… but I’m still here.)
