This is a remix of the original that I will post later. This song is deeply personal and speaks to the power of abrupt and total loss that we can experience, whether that be from lost love or lost loved ones leaving us only with the pain and the questions. This is set to release in April on Spotify.
You weren’t there to greet me
The room was silent and empty
I knew that something wasn’t right
And I wasn’t wrong
The air felt heavy and broken
Every second left unspoken
I stood there listening for you
But you were gone
I pulled back the curtains
I guess my heart was ready
So why did it still hit me so hard
I reached for you and felt the truth crash into me
Every answer hit me at once
And tore me apart
My heart broke
What have you done, where have you gone
Why did you leave me standing here alone
I’m sorry I was blinded by life’s petty noise
I missed the signs, I missed your voice
Now silence makes the choice
I replay every moment
Every word I left unspoken
Every time I said tomorrow
Like we had time
I was busy just surviving
Consumed by things that didn’t matter
While you called out in ways
I couldn’t hear
I keep thinking if I stayed longer
If I listened just a little harder
Could you still be here with me tonight
So I carry questions with no answers,
Like a journal lined with burdens
That reads more like a mystery than life
My heart broke
What have you done, where have you gone
Why did you leave me standing here alone
I’m sorry I was blinded by life’s petty noise
I missed the signs, I missed your voice
Now silence makes the choice
I would trade every second
Every win I ever claimed
Just to hear you say anything,
Just anything one more time
If love alone could save you
I swear you’d still be here
But love won’t stop the leaving
And it doesn’t kill the fear
My heart broke
What have you done, where have you gone
Why does the world keep moving on
I’m sorry I was blinded by life’s petty noise
I thought we had forever
Now I’m alone with the choicemore
