"The Space Where You Stood"

Verse 1

You traced your fingers on my palm that night

Said “I’ll be here through every fight”

Pinned your promise to the wall like art

Said nothing in this world could tear us apart

I built my world around your steady voice

Believed every single word you’d choice

Chorus

You swore you’d never go, swore you’d stay by my side

Now all that’s left is the echo of your lie

The door’s still open where you walked away

My heart’s still waiting for words you didn’t say

You promised not to leave me, but you left instead

Left me with a home that’s just an empty bed

Verse 2

I still keep your mug above the shelf

Pretend I don’t know nobody else

Walk past our spot where we’d watch the rain

Pretend I don’t feel the burning pain

You said “forever’s not that far to reach”

But you let go before we reached the beach

Chorus

You swore you’d never go, swore you’d stay by my side

Now all that’s left is the echo of your lie

The door’s still open where you walked away

My heart’s still waiting for words you didn’t say

You promised not to leave me, but you left instead

Left me with a home that’s just an empty bed

Bridge

I know you had your reasons, or so they say

But promises should mean more than just a phase

I’m learning how to breathe without your hand in mine

But some days I still look for you in every line

Outro

I took your promise down from off the wall

Folded it up, tried not to fall

You said you’d never leave, but you’re long gone now

I’m finding my way in this silence somehow
