Untitled

(Verse 1 – Dean’s voice, slow acoustic guitar, weary)

I looked for you in every empty room

in bottles I can’t bring myself to finish anymore

You left only the echo of your trench coat

and a silence that breaks me slowly from the inside

I said “hey” when I meant “stay”

I let you go with my hands shoved in my pockets

I thought it was pride, but it was just fear

of finding out I can’t breathe without you

(Pre-chorus)

And you were there, angel without wings

watching me fall and not knowing how to save me

(Chorus – builds, voice cracking)

I still love you in my broken bones

I still love you in the motels where I don’t sleep anymore

I still love you in the nights that bleed into dawn

with your name dying in my throat

If I could rewind it all the other way

I’d hold you still before the goodbye

I’d say “stay” instead of “go”

but angels don’t come back, you know

(Verse 2 – Castiel’s voice, softer, almost whispered, ethereal)

I counted every scar across your soul

every “I care about you” I never spoke out loud

I disobeyed Heaven just to stand beside you

and Heaven took you from me as punishment

Now I watch the earth from far away

and see you pretending you’re okay

still wearing that same plaid shirt

but your eyes don’t lie to anyone

(Pre-chorus)

And I was there, fallen angel

learning what love was only to lose it after

(Chorus – voices overlapping, breaking together)

I still love you in my broken bones

I still love you in the motels where I don’t sleep anymore

I still love you in the nights that bleed into dawn

with your name dying in my throat

If Heaven ever opened its gates again

I’d be the last one walking through without you

because Hell is empty if you’re not there

and Heaven’s just another place without us

(Bridge – almost spoken, raw tears)

Dean…

Castiel…

I should’ve said it sooner

I should’ve said it a thousand times

“You’re not alone”

“You never will be”

But the truest words

we always let die in silence

(Final chorus – quiet, destroyed, just voice and weeping piano)

I still love you… even if you can’t hear it

I still love you in the empty spaces you left behind

I love you and that’s it, no salvation

because our love

never got a happy ending

(Final whispered fade-out)

Goodnight, my angel…

…stay in my dreams, at least there

you don’t leave
