[Intro – soft guitar, warm reverb]
(whispered tone)
I saw it in your eyes tonight…
*[Verse 1 – fragile, close mic]
I saw it in your eyes tonight,
You didn’t need to say goodbye.
My heart just broke right where I stood,
’Cause I knew I’d lose you for good.
You came to take the things you left,
But I could feel what came next.
It wasn’t clutter, it was the end,
And I just watched you leave again.
*[Chorus 1 – build with piano & pads]
If I was enough, you’d still be here,
If I had more, you might stay near.
But all I had was love to give,
And somehow that’s not how you live.
My heart’s in pieces on the floor,
But I’d still love you even more—
Even as you’re leaving.
*[Verse 2 – gentle strumming, low strings]
I’m sorry I’m not what you dreamed,
Sorry my love was never clean.
Everyone I love walks away,
And I’m the one who always stays.
I wish I could’ve been your calm,
Your reason, your safe, your song.
But I guess I was never right,
Just another ghost in your night.
*[Chorus 2 – fuller instrumentation, emotional peak]
If I was enough, you’d still be here,
If I had more, you might stay near.
But all I had was love to give,
And somehow that’s not how you live.
My heart’s in pieces on the floor,
But I’d still love you even more—
Even as you’re leaving.
*[Bridge – stripped back, single piano]
I don’t blame you, not at all,
I just hate how far I fall.
I hope one day you smile again,
You deserve peace, even if it ends.
*[Final Chorus – slow build to fade]
And if all that’s left of me is pain,
At least I loved you through the rain.
You’ll be the name I keep inside,
The one I whisper every night.
You’re leaving, and that’s alright…
But you’ll live in me, for the rest of my life.
[Outro – solo acoustic fade, soft breath]
(whispered) You’re leaving…
