What´s Left Behind

Verse 1 There used to be fire behind our eyes Now there’s just smoke where the truth hides We talked in circles, danced through rain Held on too long to ease the pain Pre-Chorus 1 I tried to fix what cracked and split But not every heart can handle it Now we’re standing where love unwinds And all I see is what’s left behind Chorus What’s left behind when the shouting’s done? When the silence feels like a loaded gun No clear winner, no one to blame Just the weight of walking away If I go, will you let me drift? If I stay, is there anything left? What’s left behind… when love won’t shift? Verse 2 Your jacket’s still on the back of that chair I still hear your laugh floating in the air But the notes we sang don’t fit the tune We were fading long before the bloom Pre-Chorus 2 Some love breaks soft, some breaks loud We cracked in places we weren’t proud Now all that’s left between the lines Is memory dust and wasted time Chorus What’s left behind when the fire’s gone? When the fight was real but the love felt wrong No confessions, no grand goodbyes Just glances that won’t meet the eyes If I leave, will you close that door? If I stay, am I wanting more? What’s left behind… when we don’t know the score? Bridge Maybe we were thunder and drought Maybe we just couldn’t figure it out I gave my all, you gave it too But some things just fall straight through Final Chorus What’s left behind when the storm blows through? Just a name, a scent, an empty room No more blame, no words to find Just heartache and the passing time So I’ll go, and you’ll stay And maybe that’s the only way What’s left behind… is all we couldn’t say
