Half of me

Half of Me” 🎵

(Sad acoustic ballad, piano or guitar-based — Dean Lewis style)

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

They say time is good at healing

But I don’t think I’m feelin’

Any less like I’m still yours

‘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

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

And everyone says it gets better

But they’ve never read your letters

On the floor beside my bed

‘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

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
