LEFT IN THE DARK

Intro – soft, lonely)

Yeahhh… mmm…

Left in the dark…

Ooh-ohh…

(Hook – emotional, floating)

Gave you all my heart, but you left me in the dark (left me there)

Tried to show you love, but you tore it all apart (tore it up)

I was holdin’ on, but you never played the part (never did)

Guess you never loved me, I was fallin’ from the start

(Verse 1 – pain, reflection)

I was tryna lift you up when you were breakin’ down

Held you through the storms while my own heart hit the ground

Every single night, I was hoping you’d come around

But you only came close when nobody else was in town

You told me you were scared, said your trust was always shattered

I held the pieces carefully, like your soul was all that mattered

But every time I healed you, I was the one who staggered

Givin’ you my everything, but you treated me like standard

Tried to brighten up your world when your skies went grey

Stayed through all your scars, promised I would never stray

Showed you real love, in the purest kind of way

But you walked out slow like you planned it every day

Now I’m drivin’ by the places where you texted me at night

Where you said you’d never leave, where you held me so tight

Funny how you gave me hope just to dim out all my light

Guess I was just a shadow that was easy to lose sight

(Pre-Hook – fading feeling)

Don’t cry now, don’t pretend

You walked out, in the end

I gave love you couldn’t send

You let it break again

(Hook – layered & aching)

Gave you all my heart, but you left me in the dark

Tried to show you love, but you tore it all apart

I was holdin’ on, but you never played the part

Guess you never loved me, I was fallin’ from the start

(Verse 2 – deeper heartbreak)

You don’t even know the nights I stayed awake for you

Hopin’ somehow in your mind you'd feel the same way too

Told my friends I’d wait it out, that your love would come through

But you never changed your heart, you just changed your point of view

You said “maybe someday,” but someday never came

I was tryna build a future; you were playin’ different games

I kept pourin’ out my soul, you kept actin’ like it’s strange

How you leave someone who only kept you safe from all the rain

I watched you fall for boys who never treated you right

You ran to me cryin’, I held you through the night

Thought you’d see the difference, thought the truth would take flight

But you chose your own hurt, and I paid for that fight

Now I’m learnin’ how to breathe without the weight of your name

Tryin’ not to question if I’m the one that’s to blame

You walked away clean, left my heart in the flame

I gave you all my love, but you never felt the same

(Bridge – quiet, echoing)

Why’d you let me care so much… when you couldn’t care at all?

Why’d you make me hold you close… only just to watch me fall?

Guess some hearts are made of steel… and some are made too soft

Mine was yours to keep forever… but you left it in the frost

(Hook – final, haunting)

Gave you all my heart, but you left me in the dark

Tried to show you love, but you tore
