Light switch

You left like a light switch

No warning

Just dark

No message on the table

Just the echo in my heart

I scroll through our silence

Till my thumbs start to burn

Every picture is a question

Every memory turns

I’m open to a conversation

I’m open to listening

You don’t have to promise anything

I’m not asking you to stay

I just can’t keep pretending

I’m fine with it this way

I’m open to a conversation

If you’ve still got something to say

There’s miles in the middle

Between your bed and mine

Same city on the weather

Different weather in our minds

I know where I hurt you

I replay it every night

I’m not begging for forgiveness

Just trying to make it right

I’m open to a conversation

I’m open to listening

You don’t have to promise anything

I’m not asking you to stay

I just can’t keep pretending

I’m fine with it this way

I’m open to a conversation

If you’ve still got something to say

I’m not asking you to change your mind (no)

I’m not asking for an apology

Just to hear your voice one more time

Tell me what you needed from me (hey)

If all that’s left is goodbye

I can take it if it’s honest

Just meet me in the middle

Of the silence that we started

I’m open to a conversation

I’m open to listening

You don’t have to promise anything

I’m not asking you to stay

I just can’t keep pretending

I’m fine with it this way

I’m open to a conversation

If you’ve still got something to say

You left like a light switch

But I’ll leave the porch light on

I’m open to a conversation

Even if you’re already gone
