Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 — The Empty Room I wake up mid-dream, arm out across the sheets Your shadow used to live here, now it’s just the heat I roll into the space you left, it’s cold but I pretend Like morning’s gonna fix what night keeps breaking again Pre-Chorus — The Trigger Never feared the dark before you Now it’s where your name gets loudest Curtains drawn, the clock says 2AM And I’m counting cracks in the ceiling again Chorus — Two Meanings, One Moment When the lights go down, that’s when I feel you near Sometimes it’s the missing, sometimes it’s the mirror Same moon through the window, same floor, same bed Some nights I’m grieving, some nights I’m grateful instead When the lights go down, I let the truth roll in Whether it’s goodbye or “let love back in” When the lights go down — I’m learning to sit with both Verse 2 — The Shift Used to drown the quiet just to dodge your ghost Walked past your door like pain was a place I’d host But time don’t move in straight lines, it moves in waves And tonight the tide brought something that feels like grace Bridge — The Answer So pull the curtain back, let the night air in If darkness brought the hurt, maybe it brings the mend Every chord I learned in heartbreak plays different now Like the same room sings a new song when you don’t run from how Final Chorus — Resolution When the lights go down, I don’t fight the feeling If it’s you I miss, I let the missing do its healing If it’s love you bring, I open up the door Same dark that took you can give you back and more When the lights go down — I’m not scared anymore When the lights go down — I’m finally sure Outro I reach out in the night… and this time, something reaches too.
