I watched you leave without a word
Thought you'd come back like before
Kept your name inside my mouth
Like a prayer I couldn't force
You gave me everything you had
I gave you reasons to be hurt
Now your shadow fills this room
And silence only makes it worse
Funny how I learned your value
Only when your hand let go
Now I'm staring at the doorway
Knowing you won't walk back home
I'd trade every careless goodbye
For one more chance to hold you tight
Now I'm living with the echo
Of the love I left behind
You were the light inside my darkness
The part of me I couldn't see
And I'd give away forever
If forever brought you back to me
Your coffee cup is still untouched
Pictures hanging by the bed
Every corner of this house
Repeats the words I never said
I was blind when you were here
Now your absence paints the truth
Nothing hurts quite like regret
When the one you lost was you
If I could rewrite every moment
I'd choose your heart a thousand times
But time's a door that never opens
Once it closes from inside
I'd trade every careless goodbye
For one more chance to hold you tight
Now I'm living with the echo
Of the love I left behind
You were the light inside my darkness
The part of me I couldn't see
And I'd give away forever
If forever brought you back to me
Some people lose a love and move on
Some people learn and heal somehow
But every night I hear your footsteps
And turn around to find no one now
