Where You Were
Lyrics: 慕北秦萋萋
Compose: 慕北秦萋萋
I whispered love into the dark
Leaving fingerprints and marks
You were the rhythm in my chest
Now I’m picking up the rest
But the echoes have grown faint
A portrait painted with restraint
I have loved you I did my best
A trembling heart a failed test
You used to be my everywhere
Now the silence hangs like air
But now I want to just be myself
To reclaim my shattered shelf
I see your ghost in crowded spaces
In unfamiliar nameless faces
I burned the letters you never read
With all the things I left unsaid
I built a world inside your name
But love’s a flicker not a flame
Now I’m sweeping up the dust
In self-repair I learn to trust
I have loved you I did my best
This hollowed heart needs its rest
You used to be my everywhere
Now I’m breathing lonely air
But now I want to just be myself
No more hiding on a shelf
Just myself
Alone but not broken
A token of what’s spoken
and healed
