You Left Me - ArlenaZara
You held my hand like you meant it
Like forever was close by
But your eyes were always drifting
Chasing something passing by
I loved the version you showed me
The one who said I'll stay
But every promise you whispered
Faded a little each day
You were there but never fully
I felt it but I stayed
I kept loving what was missing
While you slowly walked away
You left me loving shadows
Of who you used to be
I reached for you in empty rooms
Where love once lived in me
I talk to silence like it's you
Still hoping you might care
You left me loving shadows
While you disappeared
I learned your voice in quiet
Your absence in the night
I memorized the feeling
Of losing you in sight
I blame myself for not being
Enough to make you stay
But love shouldn't feel like begging
Or fading shades of gray
You were there but never fully
I felt it but I stayed
I kept loving what was missing
While you slowly walked away
You left me loving shadows
Of who you used to be
I reached for you in empty rooms
Where love once lived in me
I talk to silence like it's you
Still hoping you might care
You left me loving shadows
While you disappeared
Loving you was a crime
Then I served the time alone
You walked free from what we had
Left me haunted by the ghost
I'm tired of forgiving
Someone who's already gone
But my heart still says your name
When the lights are turned off
You left me loving shadows
But I'm learning how to see
That the love I gave so freely
Was always real in me
I'll stop chasing echoes now
I'll face the truth you hid
You left me loving shadows
But I'm done loving them
I loved you in the dark
Now I'm learning how to love
Myself again
