Gone So Fast

[soft fingerpicked guitar intro
Subtle vinyl crackle in background]
[Verse 1]
I packed a suitcase with the coldest air
Time stopped—our walls they just stood and stared
I left a ghost in the corner of your room
And I swear you swept it out by noon
[Pre-Chorus]
Was I just a bridge you burned to cross
A name you whispered
Then forgot
[Chorus]
You replaced me
Gone so fast
Like smoke in a gale
I couldn’t last
I’m ink on your page that bled and blurred
A song you skipped
A line unheard
Gone so fast
Just blew right past
[Verse 2]
Your friends don’t flinch when they say his name
His shadow's in photos where I once framed
The way you wear him
Like he always fit
Like I was a pair of shoes you’d quit
[Pre-Chorus]
Was I just a leaf you brushed aside
A gap in the wind
Already blind
