Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
The hallway hums with a broken sound
A clock still counts what’s not around
Your jacket hangs like it never knew
The weight of the days I spent on you
Every room holds a frozen scene
Dust on laughter that used to breathe
I say your name like it might return
But the air stays cold, the silence learns
[Pre-Chorus]
I memorized the way you left
No slammed door, just emptiness
[Chorus]
I left the light burning every night
Like you might remember the way inside
I kept the floor from forgetting your feet
I kept my heart where you couldn’t see
If you ever turn back from the dark
You’ll find me right where we fell apart
I left the light burning
I’m still here, still hurting
[Verse 2]
The porch still creaks under phantom steps
I talk to shadows I never met
Your voice still rings in the corners tight
Like guilt that learned how to survive
I held the house together with hope
Told myself this was love, not a rope
But waiting rusts you from the bone
And I’ve learned how to be alone
[Pre-Chorus]
I swear I heard your breath last night
But it was just the wind lying
[Chorus]
I left the light burning every night
Like you might remember the way inside
I kept the floor from forgetting your feet
I kept my heart where you couldn’t see
If you ever turn back from the dark
You’ll find me right where we fell apart
I left the light burning
I’m still here, still hurting
[Bridge]
If you come back, don’t say a word
Don’t explain what you never heard
Just stand where the silence ends
And see what waiting did to me
[Chorus]
I left the light burning through the years
Through the doubt, through the fear
I learned how to bleed in place
How to call this home, call this faith
If you never come back at all
This house will still know what I gave you
I left the light burning
Even when I knew
[Outro]
The door still knows my name
And I don’t walk away
