When You Leave

[Verse 1]
Ashtray on the windowsill
Cold coffee on the stove
Your jacket on the kitchen chair
But you’re already a ghost
One minute you were in my arms
Mumbling that you’d never change
Next second
Headlights down the street
You drove off with my name
[Chorus]
When you leave
You don’t slam the door
You cut the power
Tear the wires from my chest in a single hour
One minute you’re here
Next second you’re gone
I’m screaming at an empty room
Like you might sing along
When you leave
You don’t say a word
You pull the floor
Drop me through the cracks
Can’t feel you anymore
One minute you’re here
Next second you’re gone
You abandoned me
Abandoned me
And I’m stuck on “what went wrong”
[Verse 2]
Found your note on the microwave
Three lines like broken glass
“Don’t call
Don’t wait
Don’t follow me”
Signed off with our past
All our plans on the fridge door
Crooked on a rusted pin
All that future in a crumpled font
That I can’t live in
[Chorus]
When you leave
You don’t slam the door
You cut the power
Tear the wires from my chest in a single hour
One minute you’re here
Next second you’re gone
I’m screaming at an empty room
Like you might sing along
When you leave
You don’t say a word
You pull the floor
Drop me through the cracks
Can’t feel you anymore
One minute you’re here
Next second you’re gone
You abandoned me
Abandoned me
And I’m stuck on “what went wrong”
[Bridge]
Did you flinch when you hit the gas
Or did it feel like breathing
’Cause every mile that you put on
Is every piece of me you’re leaving (behind)
[Chorus]
When you leave
You don’t slam the door
You cut the power
Tear the wires from my chest in a single hour
One minute you’re here
Next second you’re gone
I’m screaming at an empty room
Like you might sing along
When you leave
You don’t say a word
You pull the floor
Drop me through the cracks
Can’t feel you anymore
One minute you’re here
Next second you’re gone
You abandoned me
Abandoned me
But my heart still beats your song

rock, Aggressive hybrid of heavy alternative rock and festival EDM: distorted reese bass and chugging low-tuned guitars lock to a halftime stomp, then explode into four-on-the-floor drops mimicking Excision-style melodic phrasing. Male vocals—verses raw and close, choruses shouted with gang backups, glitchy vocal chops answering the hook. Massive sidechained synth stacks in the chorus, filtered build-ups, and a final drop where guitars and synth leads double the same hook line., edm, alternative rock
