you packed your things you chose to keep,
you made an escape whilst I was asleep.
You packed all the things you valued,
left what you didn’t need.
you didn't value me
The truth is hard to face,
Still I needed words from you
instead loud silence was what you do
the lights dimmed first one then two
You packed your things you chose to keep,
you made an escape whilst I was a sleep.
You packed all the things you valued,
left what you didn’t need.
you didn't value me
You said you'd be back
stepped out the door.
as nights kept turning over
stopped thinking you'd be back like before
in that quiet I saw what was true
clearer than day it came into view
you changed everything now someone new
thats when I started letting go of you.
you packed your things you chose to keep,
you made an escape whilst I was asleep.
You packed all the things you valued,
left what you didn’t need.
you didn't value me
left what you didn’t need.
you didn't value me
I held the life we built two and broke my heart in quiet waves,
left me drowning in those the days, the months
The man who promised me his life
built a world without his wife.
yet I began to stand,
rebuilt my heart with steady hands.
found my light, I found my breath,
instead crashing waves of marital death
rediscovered me and saw a life without you
out the blue you were back
You said we should begin but didn't unpack
hope came gently back in then.
I tried to trust, riptide of dread was near,
each step was edged with fear.
I couldn't turn back on the lights
i knew you'd never be back
You packed your things you chose to keep,
you made an escape whilst I was asleep.
You packed all the things you valued,
left what you didn’t need.
you didn't value me
you left me
you didn't need me
left what you didn’t need.
you didn't value me
you left me
