[Intro]
Shadows creeping in, I can't hold the dark at bay
Lost in the silence, wishing it all away
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
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
