“The You Midnight Left Behind”

[Verse 1]
City lights flicker through my window pane
Still hear your voice, soft like the rain
3AM and I’m staring at my screen
Silence louder than it’s ever been

[Pre-Chorus]
You once said we’d never fade away
But promises slip like night into day
Dinner’s cold, I sit alone and try
Even my shadow learned how to say goodbye

[Chorus]
The you midnight left behind
Still lingers deep inside my mind
Like a letter I just can’t throw away
Tears don’t wash the past away
You walked out, now I try to find
A way to love me this time

[Verse 2]
Your cup’s still waiting on the shelf
Guess I’m not done lying to myself
Wind creeps in, whispers like you did
But I only talk to air and what-ifs

[Pre-Chorus]
We were more than right or wrong
Just lost each other all along
Love wilted quiet in the space
But missing you never lost pace

[Chorus]
The you midnight left behind
Still lingers deep inside my mind
Like a letter I just can’t throw away
Tears don’t wash the past away
You walked out, now I try to find
A way to love me this time

[Bridge]
If I had begged you not to go
Would this room still feel this cold?
So many words I left unsaid
Now you’re the reason stuck in my head

[Final Chorus]
The you midnight left behind
More than a memory trapped in time
Every sleepless night reminds me
You still live somewhere inside me
I let you go but never quite
Let go of what we used to be
