I Stay Where You Left Me

*Verse 1**
I still sleep on your side of the bed
Like you might come back in a dream
Your name’s a weight on my chest
Every time I try to breathe

**Pre-Chorus**
They say time’s supposed to fix this
But it only makes it hurt
Every day without you in it
Feels worse than the first

**Chorus**
I stay where you left me
Frozen in the past
Everyone keeps moving
I’m afraid this pain will last
If love is letting go
Then I don’t know how
I stay where you left me
I’m breaking down

**Verse 2**
Your voice still lives in my head
Telling me I’ll be okay
But you were never good at staying
You just knew how to fade

**Pre-Chorus**
I keep replaying the ending
Like I could change the start

**Chorus**
I stay where you left me
Bleeding out the truth
Every promise you made
Still feels brand new
If healing’s just pretending
That you’re gone now
I stay where you left me
I can’t move on

**Bridge (soft → heavy)**
Did you stop loving me
Or did I miss the signs?
Was I already alone
While you were still mine?

*(screams)*
I GAVE YOU MY FUTURE
YOU LEFT ME THE PAIN

**Final Chorus**
I stay where you left me
Counting every scar
I built my whole world
Around who we are
If I ever find peace
It won’t be here now
I stay where you left me
I don’t know how

**Outro (quiet)**
I stay where you left me
Even when you’re gone
