Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I found your shirt on the chair
Still folds like you were here
Your last text on my phone
Just a screen and a little blue glow
I was gone in my head
Chasing ghosts in a vein
Now the room won't let me hide
It's got your name in every stain
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep saying sorry
To the dark, to the floor
I was there and not there
When you needed me more
[Chorus]
I let you down, I let you down
(Down, down)
You went under, I stayed around
(Stayed around)
Now I'm the one in this empty room
Calling your name with nothing to lose
I let you down, I let you down
And I don't know how to live this now
[Verse 2]
Your shoes by the door
Still pointed at the night
Mine are kicked in the hall
Like I ran from the light
I was high on a lie
Said I'd make it back soon
Now the clock on the wall
Just keeps breaking in two
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep hearing your voice
In the pipes, in the rain
You were reaching for my hand
I was somewhere else again
[Chorus]
I let you down, I let you down
(Down, down)
You went under, I stayed around
(Stayed around)
Now I'm the one in this empty room
Calling your name with nothing to lose
I let you down, I let you down
And I don't know how to live this now
[Bridge]
If I could trade one night
For the breath in your chest
I would tear through the years
Just to put you to rest
But I can't chase you back
Can't undo what I missed
Only stand in the ash
And admit I existed
[Final Chorus]
I let you down, I let you down
(Down, down)
You went under, I stayed around
(Stayed around)
Now I'm the one in this empty room
Learning the shape of a lonely truth
I let you down, I let you down
And I carry you in everything I do

Style
Alt-pop ballad with slow 6/8 sway, fingerpicked electric guitar, muted piano, and a soft kick pulse; verse stays close-mic and fragile, pre-chorus lifts with stacked breaths and a rising pad, chorus opens into wide harmony and a trembling lead octave. Add tape hiss, a reversed swell into each chorus, and a final key-change glow. Mix is intimate, glossy, and heavy with reverb tails.
