Part of me you took

VERSE 1

I’ve been sitting in the dark with all the lights on,

hoping that the brightness brings you back.

But every room just shows me what I missed—

all the moments where I should’ve had your back.

I’ve been holding conversations with myself,

trying to understand where I went wrong.

But every answer hits a little harder—

every truth says you were hurting all along.

⸻

PRE-CHORUS

And I swear I tried to see you,

but I was half a second late.

⸻

⭐ CHORUS

Now I’m stuck with the part of me you took,

and the part you left behind won’t look

like someone I remember being—

I’m a ghost of what you used to see in me.

And I keep reaching for the pain,

just to feel something again…

but you walked out with the part of me that feels—

and I don’t know how to make the rest of me real.

⸻

VERSE 2

I’ve been walking through the days like they’re borrowed,

acting like I’m fine when I’m not.

People tell me heartbreak makes you stronger—

but mine just makes me feel like I forgot.

I remember when your voice could cut through anything,

now nothing even touches my chest.

I’d take the burn, the sting, the shaking—

anything instead of feeling less.

⸻

PRE-CHORUS

And I swear I tried to hold you,

but my hands were full of fear.

⸻

⭐ CHORUS

Now I’m stuck with the part of me you took,

and the part you left behind won’t look

like someone I remember being—

I’m a ghost of what you used to see in me.

And I keep reaching for the pain,

just to feel something again…

but you walked out with the part of me that feels—

and I don’t know how to make the rest of me real.

⸻

BRIDGE

I would take the hit, the hurt, the fall,

if it meant I’d get a piece of me back at all.

’Cause losing you didn’t break me clean—

it carved out everything in between.

⸻

⭐ FINAL CHORUS

Now I’m stuck with the part of me you took,

and the part you left behind won’t look

like someone that can stand upright—

I’m just shadows in fluorescent light.

And though I’m trying not to fade,

every step feels like a masquerade.

You walked out with the part of me that feels—

and I’m scared I’ll never learn how to heal.
