Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left the light on, but the door was closed I waited there, til the fire froze I heard your laugh through the hallway cracks It echoed once, then never came back I held your coat when your hands were cold You held my name like it got old You didn’t cry, but your voice went tight And you turned away… it’s alright [Verse 2] I wrote you songs you would never hear Played 'em low, just to keep you near You slept through nights I stayed awake Countin’ each breath your silence would take I traced your steps down the gravel lane Each one fading like your name You stopped loving me without a fight But you sleep just fine… it’s alright [Verse 3] I made my home in your half of the bed Still talk to you in my own damn head You took the photo off the wall Guess memories don’t mean much at all I kept the mug you used at dawn The handle cracked but I hold on If ghosts could speak, they'd beg you write But you won’t come back… it’s alright [Verse 4] And if someday your hands feel worn If no one calls and the rain feels warm I hope you think of the boy who stayed When the love ran thin and the sky turned grey But don’t you ache, and don’t feel shame You just forgot how to say my name I’ll be the man who fades from sight You were the one… it’s alright
