[Verse 1]
You left two coats behind the bedroom door
Dust on the sleeves, keys beside the drawer
I learned the shape of absence by the stairs
And hated every morning you weren't there
I was too young to carry all that blame
Still old enough to memorize your names
The world kept moving like it didn't know
How much of me went with you when you had to go
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want heaven's answer
I don't want borrowed peace
I want the hands that raised me
Reaching back for me
[Chorus]
You left me here, you left me here
With all this love and nowhere for it to go
I miss you more than anything
More than this heart was ever built to hold
I'm angry at the empty years
At every birthday passing without you near
You left me here, you left me here
And I still call your names when no one hears
[Verse 2]
I kept your photographs beneath my bed
Two smiling faces, everything unsaid
I talk to you when the apartment sleeps
Then curse the silence crawling through the sheets
I built a life you never got to see
But every victory still feels incomplete
There should be a voice behind the crowd
Saying you were proud, saying it out loud
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want some silver lining
I don't want to be brave
I want one ordinary evening
And both of you beside my plate
[Chorus]
You left me here, you left me here
With all this love and nowhere for it to go
I miss you more than anything
More than this heart was ever built to hold
I'm angry at the empty years
At every birthday passing without you near
You left me here, you left me here
And I still call your names when no one hears
[Bridge]
If grief is love with nowhere left to land
Then mine is burning holes into my hands
I would trade every tomorrow I have known
For five more minutes in the place called home
No, I won't make your leaving beautiful
No, I won't say it made me strong
You were supposed to stay and watch me grow
You were supposed to be here all along
[Final Chorus]
You left me here, you left me here
But I am still the child who needed you
I miss you more than anything
There is no distance deep enough to make it untrue
I'm angry, and I love you still
Both can live inside this beating will
You left me here, you left me here
So I will carry every piece of you
[Outro]
Two coats behind the bedroom door
I touch the sleeves and miss you more
