Why Did You Leave?

Shadows creeping in, I can't hold the dark at bay

Lost in the silence, wishing it all away

Promises whispered in April's breeze

Words of forever, illusions that deceive

You swore you'd stay, no matter what comes our way

But October's cold wind took you away

You held me back when I was broken inside

Kept me from falling, from losing my mind

Now the nights are endless, and I'm falling apart

Your absence is echoing through my broken heart

Why did you leave, when I needed you the most?

Left me drowning in this pain, where hope is ghost

Thought I had a future, bright in Houston's glow

Now darkness consumes me, I just want to let go

Trauma's chains, they weighed me down

Haunted by the past, in this lonely town

Your coldness cuts, deeper than a knife

Leaving me to battle for my life

You stopped me from ending my pain

Now I'm lost in sorrow, can't escape the rain

Every night I fight these tears I can't contain

Wishing I could erase the hurt, the blame

Why did you leave, when I needed you the most?

Left me drowning in this pain, where hope is ghost

Thought I had a future, bright in Houston's glow

Now darkness consumes me, I just want to let go

I reached out, in my weakest hour

Fighting demons, losing power

You say I blame you, but can't you see?

This pain is all that's left of me

If love is just a memory, then why does it hurt so much?

I'm screaming in the silence, longing for your touch

But I'm left here, broken, with nowhere to turn

In this darkness, I yearn just to burn
