Left Twice

Verse 1

I walked away twice, yeah, I’m the one who closed the door

’Cause loving you too heavy had me bleeding on the floor

I didn’t leave ’cause I stopped caring, nah, it cut me like a knife

But I was drowning in my shadows, trying to save your life

You gave me light when my whole world was dim

But my head was full of noise, I couldn’t let you in

So I ran from your arms, thinking distance was the cure

Didn’t know that pushing you away would hurt me even more

I thought I’d come back stronger, thought you'd understand

But silence grew between us like a desert eating land

And now regret is screaming, I want you back, I swear

But you blocked me out completely… like I was never there

Chorus

I left twice, but never ’cause I wanted to forget

It was fear, it was pain, it was love I couldn’t get

Now I’m the one who’s broken, crying in the dark

You erased my name like I never touched your heart

I pretend I’m strong, but inside I’m torn apart

You blocked me, left me with the ghosts of who we are

I walked away twice… but losing you wasn’t the plan

Now I’m living with the emptiness I put in your hands

Verse 2

I rewind every moment, every “stay” I never said

Every time you reached for me and I ran instead

You were fighting for us while I fought myself

I thought leaving was protection, but I just killed my help

Didn’t wanna drag you through the storm inside my chest

Didn’t feel like I was worthy, didn’t think I was the best

So I made the stupid choice to disappear from your world

Thought I was sparing you the mess… but I just hurt the girl

Now I’m stuck with memories, with the tears I never cried

Your silence is the answer to every time I lied

You cut me out completely, erased me from your life

And I can’t even hate you… I know I caused the knife

Chorus

I left twice, but never ’cause I wanted to forget

It was fear, it was pain, it was love I couldn’t get

Now I’m the one who’s broken, crying in the dark

You erased my name like I never touched your heart

I pretend I’m strong, but inside I’m torn apart

You blocked me, left me with the ghosts of who we are

I walked away twice… but losing you wasn’t the plan

Now I’m living with the emptiness I put in your hands

Bridge

I wonder if you wanted me to fight a little more

If you waited for a sign, for words I never swore

I ran ’cause I was scared I’d never be enough

Now I’m left with “what ifs,” yeah, this love was tough

Outro

So yeah, I left twice… but this time it’s you who’s gone

You blocked me with no goodbye, no chance to right my wrong

I act like I’m fine, but I’m breaking inside

I lost the love I tried too clumsily to hide

And now the guilt is the only thing by my side.
