Hallway Lights

[Intro] [Verse 1] I left the lights on in the hallway tonight, A flicker of hope where the shadows take flight. Your coat’s still there like a ghost in the door— A hollow reminder of what’s not yours anymore. [Chorus] I’ll sip cold coffee, let the bitterness speak, Silence hums louder when the memories bleed. I wear your absence like a threadbare song, Pretending the words don’t feel so wrong. [Verse 2] Your sweater clings close, but the scent’s wearing thin, Dust on the fabric where your warmth should’ve been. The plants you forgot now reach for the sun— They’re thriving in shadows, just like what we’ve become. [Chorus] I’ll sip cold coffee, let the bitterness speak, Silence hums louder when the memories bleed. I wear your absence like a threadbare song, Pretending the words don’t feel so wrong. [Bridge] My friends say I’m fine, say you were never mine, But your laugh still echoes in the cracks of my mind. I count every vow that I couldn’t keep, Bury them deep where the ache never sleeps. [Outro] Hallway lights dim, but I leave them on— A silent prayer for a love that’s gone.
