[Intro]
You walked through my door on a Friday in June
Hair still damp from the shower, perfume like a tune
We laughed over wine on my worn-out old couch
I thought “this is different”… but I spoke too soon
[Verse 1]
Candlelight flickered, shadows danced on the wall
You kicked off your shoes, let your guard gently fall
We talked about dreams, about cities we’d seen
Your hand brushed my arm like a promise between
Two playlists later, the night felt alive
I swore I could feel every beat come alive
[Chorus]
But now you’re a stranger who once knew my name
You got all the warmth, then you slipped from the flame
I text, you don’t answer, or answer too late
Like I’m begging for scraps from a finished plate
You needed the moment, the glow, the embrace
But never the person who lives in this place
[Verse 2]
Saturday morning you left with a smile
Said “text me sometime” — been quiet for a while
I send you a picture, a song, or a “hey”
You read it, then vanish, no words on display
I’m chasing your echo through empty blue ticks
While you’re already gone, already fixed
[Chorus]
Yeah you’re a stranger who once knew my name
Took all of the magic and left me the blame
I reach for a signal that never comes back
You’re fine in the silence, I’m losing the track
You wanted the feeling, the rush, the sweet lie
But never the truth of the you and the I
[Verse 3]
I could hate you for fading, but hate takes too much
You just played your part in a script you don’t touch
No fight, no “I’m sorry”, no honest goodbye
Just drift into nothing beneath a clear sky
Some hearts are collectors, they borrow the light
Then leave when the candles burn out for the night
[Outro]
So here’s to the girls who light up a room
Stay long enough to make everything bloom
Then quietly exit before it can grow
Leaving only the scent of a candle and smoke
I’ll close all the tabs, blow the last embers out
Two nights in my house… that’s all you’re about
