What You Left Behind by DJMike - Zona

Lyrics

Verse 1

We were leaning on each other like the world might cave,

Every breath felt borrowed, every touch we gave,

You said love like it meant something we could keep,

But your version of forever couldn’t even last a week.

I remember how you looked at me like I was home,

Now I’m standing in the same place feeling more alone,

Every promise that you made just echoes in my chest,

Like a truth you never meant and a heart you never kept.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

You pulled me close just to push me away,

Left me hanging on the words you wouldn’t say,

I gave you all of me without defense…

You gave me silence as your evidence.

⸻

Chorus

You tore me down without a warning sign,

Left me bleeding out between your lines,

Now I’m stuck inside the wreckage of your goodbye,

Trying to make sense of all your lies.

I gave you everything I had to give,

You took it all and called it how you live,

Now I’m learning how to breathe again alone…

With what you left behind carved in my bones.

⸻

Verse 2

You were fire in my veins, now you’re ice in my lungs,

Every word you never said still cuts through my tongue,

We were dancing on the edge of something real,

But you only loved the moment, never how I feel.

I replay every second like it’s stuck on repeat,

All the highs, all the lows, every incomplete,

You rewrote our story just to make your escape,

Left me drowning in the version that you couldn’t face.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

You held my heart like it was safe in your hands,

Then let it fall like it was never part of your plans,

I gave you truth without disguise…

You gave me distance dressed as lies.

⸻

Chorus

You tore me down without a warning sign,

Left me bleeding out between your lines,

Now I’m stuck inside the wreckage of your goodbye,

Trying to make sense of all your lies.

I gave you everything I had to give,

You took it all and called it how you live,

Now I’m learning how to breathe again alone…

With what you left behind carved in my bones.

⸻

Bridge

Was it real or just a moment you could fake?

Was I love or just a habit you could break?

You walked away like nothing ever changed…

While I’m still here carrying all the weight.

⸻

Final Chorus (Extended)

You tore me down and never looked behind,

Left me fighting shadows in my mind,

Now I’m standing in the pieces of what we were,

Trying to heal from every word.

I gave you everything I couldn’t save,

You turned it into something I can’t erase,

Now I’m learning how to live with the unknown…

And what you left behind inside my soul.
