[Intro]
I thought you’d always be there,
so I stopped looking to see.
You slipped out quiet,
while I was busy being me.
(“you’re gone…”)
[Verse 1]
I said it didn’t matter —
like truth was just a line.
You caught me in my comfort,
I crossed that final sign.
Now I scroll through what’s left,
of the love I burned away,
your silence hits like thunder,
I’ve got nothing left to say.
[Pre-Chorus]
You gave me every warning,
I played blind every time.
Now I see the wreckage,
and it’s written in your eyes.
[Chorus]
When you closed your eyes —
that’s when I saw it clear.
Every lie I told built the walls you disappeared.
Now I’m standing where you stood,
and it’s colder than I feared.
You closed your eyes —
and I’m still here.
[Verse 2]
You said you were tired, I didn’t hear,
you said “I’m done,” I called it fear.
I thought love could bend, not break,
I kept taking, what’d you expect to take?
Now I talk to your absence —
it’s the only thing that stays.
I lost the fight I didn’t see,
I learned the hard way.
[Pre-Chorus]
The mirror shows the damage,
I never meant this end.
But meaning doesn’t matter,
when you’ve lost your only friend.
[Chorus]
When you closed your eyes —
that’s when I saw it clear.
Every word I threw still echoes in my ear.
Now I’m standing in the dark,
haunted by your name.
You closed your eyes —
and I took the blame.
[Bridge]
Now you see me — too late,
your voice still vibrates in the empty space.
I’d give the world to rewind that day,
but you’re already walking away.
(“too late… too late…”)
[Final Chorus / Outro]
When you closed your eyes —
you freed yourself from me.
And I finally saw the truth I refused to see.
Now your silence screams my crime,
and I’m stuck in my own lie.
You closed your eyes…
and said goodbye.
(“I see you now…”)
