Half of Me” 🎵
(Sad acoustic ballad, piano or guitar-based — Dean Lewis style)
[Verse 1]
I saw your name light up my phone
For a second, thought you’d come back home
But it was just a memory playin’ tricks
Like your ghost still knows the code to this
Your sweater’s still on the bedroom chair
I swore I’d move it, but I wouldn’t dare
’Cause letting go feels like a crime
Like I’m killing what was once mine
[Pre-Chorus]
They say time is good at healing
But I don’t think I’m feelin’
Any less like I’m still yours
[Chorus]
‘Cause when you left, you didn’t leave me whole
You took the part that made me feel like home
Now I’m talkin’ to walls, drinkin’ to sleep
Wishin’ you’d come back and rescue me
You were the light, the best I’d ever see
Now I’m just the half that used to be
When you were with me
[Verse 2]
Your laugh still echoes in this place
I try to smile but it fades from my face
You were the calm when I was a mess
Now I’m drowning in your absence
[Pre-Chorus]
And everyone says it gets better
But they’ve never read your letters
On the floor beside my bed
[Chorus]
‘Cause when you left, you didn’t leave me whole
You took the part that made me feel like home
Now I’m talkin’ to walls, drinkin’ to sleep
Wishin’ you’d come back and rescue me
You were the light, the best I’d ever see
Now I’m just the half that used to be
When you were with me
[Bridge] (soft, almost whispered)
I still check the door…
Still leave a light on
Still write your name
In every sad song
[Final Chorus]
When you left, you didn’t leave me whole
You took the part that made me feel like home
Now I’m tracing your name in cold air
Pretending that you’re still there
You were the light, the best I’ll ever see
Now I’m just the half that used to be
When you were with me
When you were with me
