Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You used to leave the porch light on Wait up till my story fit You traced your thumb along my palm Like you could read through every slip You knew the numbers in my phone You heard the rumors in the dark Still you folded me in your arms Like I was worth a brand‑new start [Chorus] Now I’m counting cracks in the ceiling Playing back every promise I tore You kept handing me forgiveness I kept walking out the door I had the love of my life in my hands Treated his heart like it was yours to restore I didn’t know what I had Till it walked out And slammed the door [Verse 2] You packed your favorite faded shirt Left it hanging in my room Said “Call me when you’re really done With burning what you can’t resume” I kissed a stranger just to feel Anything but my own shame Thought I was running from your hurt But I was running from my name [Chorus] Now I’m counting cracks in the ceiling Playing back every promise I tore You kept handing me forgiveness I kept walking out the door I had the love of my life in my hands Treated your trust like it was something to ignore I didn’t know what I had Till it walked out And slammed the door [Bridge] If you ever hear this song by chance (oh) I know it doesn’t change a thing But every word is just me owning Every cut Every sting [Chorus] Now I’m talking to the shadows Calling your name into the floor You kept handing me forever I kept asking you for more I had the love of my life in my hands Now I just hold the weight of what I can’t restore I didn’t know what I had Now I do And you’re not mine anymore

Intimate piano ballad with female vocals, close-mic’d and breathy. Sparse piano in the verses, soft pads underneath; gentle rises into each chorus with warm low strings. Second verse adds subtle rhythmic pulses and distant vocal doubles; bridge swells with emotional vibrato and a brief, aching high note before dropping back to a hushed final chorus and a lingering piano outro.
