Left At The Door

[Verse 1]
You left your keys on the table
Left your ring in the sink
Coffee stain on the counter
But you were gone in a blink
I counted tiles in the hallway
Like they were steps to your car
Tried to run but my feet
Wouldn’t move that far
[Pre-Chorus]
You didn’t fight
You didn’t stay
You just chose the easy way
[Chorus]
You left me at the door like a box you don't remember
Closed me in the dark
Blew out every November
And he turned off his heart like a light in an empty room
Said
“You’re not my kid
” and he watched me bruise
If love was a home
You burned it to the floor
I was your child
Not anymore
[Verse 2]
His name cut sharp in the hallway
On a frame turned to face the wall
Every word like a verdict
Every silence a fall
He brushed my face from the photos
Like dust from an old black coat
Signed his goodbye in a whisper
That caught in my throat
[Pre-Chorus]
You didn’t fight
You didn’t stay
You both just walked away
[Chorus]
You left me at the door like a box you don't remember
Closed me in the dark
Blew out every November
And he turned off his heart like a light in an empty room
Said
“You’re not my kid
” and he watched me bruise
If love was a home
You burned it to the floor
I was your child
Not anymore
[Bridge]
But I’m still here
Breathing slow (oh)
Teaching my heart to grow
Building a name that’s mine
Out of the ruins you left behind
[Chorus]
You left me at the door like a box you don't remember
Closed me in the dark
But I found my own ember
And he turned off his heart like a light in an empty room
But I found a spark and it cut through the gloom
If love is a home
I’m framing a brand-new door
I was your child
I’m someone more
