[Verse 1]
In the silent room where light decays,
Your coffee cup still warm on the sill.
The key you left upon the hallway brace,
My coat folded where your sleeve once spilled.
A radio hums a song we used to know,
Quiet scratches on a photograph.
I trace the place your handwriting slow,
And taste the hollow of your last laugh.

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep the hallway lamp low, pretend the night is small,
Counting the small reasons that don't explain it all.
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me, did you mean to leave like this?
Tell me, tell me, say my name before you go.
Tell me, tell me, was there something I missed?
Tell me — say my name, and don’t let silence grow.
[Verse 2]
Your scarf hangs like a map of where warmth began,
The messages unsent beneath the drawer.
The porch light blinks in time with an unopened plan,
The voicemail ends at the words we never swore.
The plates are in the sink, one set, the other cold,
Your mirror still holds half of your face.
I walk the rooms like pages I can't fold,
Reading between the lines of our last trace.

[Pre-Chorus]
I leave the window cracked for ghosts I can’t unlearn,
Holding onto the ember of a question that still burns.
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me, did you mean to leave like this?
Tell me, tell me, say my name before you go.
Tell me, tell me, was there something I missed?
Tell me — say my name, and don’t let silence grow.
[Bridge]
I found a note tucked in the spine of an old book,
One sentence half-folded where your pen ran out:
"I wanted more than midnight could ever look,"
And underneath, a line crossed out — no doubt.
You chose a road with no headlights and no plea,
You packed the dawn and left a door unlatched.
If there was one word left you could have given me,
Would it have been "stay" or the echo of what we lacked?
