Afterglow

(Hook)

Moonlight spills across my floor

Same damn shadows by the door

City lights don’t shine like before

Since you don’t live here anymore

Skyline blurred through tired eyes

Truth hits different at 2:05

Every star looks like goodbye

When I’m alone with the night

(Verse 1)

Blinds half-open, cold air creeping

Phone still bright but nobody speaking

Your side of the bed stay untouched

Funny how silence can weigh this much

Coffee cup from yesterday

Lipstick mark that wouldn’t fade

I told myself I’d throw it out

But I just turned the cup around

Every song feel personal

Every memory surgical

Cut so clean but deep inside

You left slow but it still felt sudden

I replay words like broken film

Wonder if you ever think of him

Or was I just a place to land

Till you found somewhere permanent

(Hook)

Moonlight spills across my floor

Same damn shadows by the door

City lights don’t shine like before

Since you don’t live here anymore

Skyline blurred through tired eyes

Truth hits different at 2:05

Every star looks like goodbye

When I’m alone with the night

(Verse 2)

I still wake up reaching left

Habit don’t care that you left

Closet space still smells like you

And I don’t know what to do

You said space was what you needed

I gave you miles, I never cheated

But distance grew like cracks in glass

Now I’m sweeping up the past

I don’t hate you, that’s the worst

Would be easier if it burned

But this is just that quiet ache

That don’t bleed — it just stays

You ever drive past our old street?

Or does it feel different for me?

Do city lights still hit your eyes

The way they used to hit mine?

(Bridge – soft, almost spoken)

If I’m honest… I still wait

Like you might knock one night too late

But love don’t circle back like that

Some doors close… and that’s that

(Final Hook – layered, emotional)

Moonlight spills across my floor

Same damn shadows by the door

City lights don’t shine like before

Since you don’t live here anymore

Skyline blurred through tired eyes

Truth hits different at 2:05

Every star looks like goodbye

When I’m alone with the night
