[Verse 1]
I found your note by the open drawer
Folded neat on the bedroom floor
Ink still wet like the tears you bled
Now I’m talkin’ to a ghost instead
You said “don’t cry” but I’m shattered glass
Reading your pain in every pass
I should’ve known, I should’ve stayed
Should’ve heard the words you never said
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You wore your silence like a crown
Laughed so loud but you were drownin’ down
I saw the cracks but looked away
And now there’s nothing left to say
⸻
[Chorus]
You wrote this like your final breath
A quiet scream, a kiss with death
You said you’re tired, said you tried
But damn it—why’d you have to hide?
This world is cruel, yeah, I won’t lie
But now you’re gone and so am I
‘Cause when you left, you took a piece
Of everything good left in me
⸻
[Verse 2]
I held your letter with shaking hands
Each word hit like a reprimand
You said you weren’t lookin’ for pity
But now I’m stuck in this silent city
I replay texts, missed calls, those nights
You were beggin’ me to see the fight
But I was blind in my own mess
Never thought you’d mean “I’m depressed”
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear your voice in every room
Like dust that dances in the gloom
You said, “I’m fine,” and I believed
Now I’m haunted by what I couldn’t see
⸻
[Chorus]
You wrote this like your final breath
A quiet scream, a kiss with death
You said you’re tired, said you tried
But damn it—why’d you have to hide?
This world is cruel, yeah, I won’t lie
But now you’re gone and so am I
‘Cause when you left, you took a piece
Of everything good left in me
⸻
[Bridge]
I hope you found what we all chase
Some light beyond this hollow place
But I would give my lungs, my time
Just to say, “You weren’t a crime”
You weren’t a burden, you weren’t too much
You were the light we failed to touch
⸻
[Outro]
So I’ll keep your letter, fold it tight
Read it when I lose the fight
But I’ll keep breathing, ’cause you couldn’t
I’ll scream your name when the world wouldn’t
And if you’re out there in the sky
I hope you hear this lullaby
A song for you, my broken friend
I’ll love you ’til my bitter end
