what she said when she left 🎀
[Verse 1]
I came home, the lights were off
The kettle cold, your coffee cup
Still standing there like it forgot
You wouldn’t be coming back
A note was taped to the kitchen wall
Folded twice like you thought that’d soften the fall
Said I never asked, never saw you at all
Funny how you never said that out loud
[Pre-Chorus]
I would’ve stayed, I would’ve changed
If I had known you felt that way
But silence sounds like everything’s okay
Until it breaks—
[Chorus]
So maybe I talk too loud
And maybe I missed the signs
But you looked at me like I was enough
You kissed me like I got it right
So don’t tell me now I made you feel small
When you never told me at all
Yeah, maybe I was blind
But you made me think I saw the light
[Verse 2]
I play our song on my guitar
Up on the roof where the stars still are
But they don’t shine the way they did
When you were here, and I was it
Your list of hurt, a silent scream
Each line a cut, a haunting dream
Like I was loving you all wrong
But how could I know, if you just smiled all along?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I would’ve listened, I would’ve bent
If you had told me what you meant
But now the paper speaks instead
And it says—
[Chorus]
Maybe I talk too loud
And maybe I missed the signs
But you looked at me like I was enough
You kissed me like I got it right
So don’t tell me now I made you feel small
When you never told me at all
Yeah, maybe I was blind
But you made me think I saw the light
[Bridge] (mit Flüstern oder entferntem Telefonfilter)
"You never asked how I was."
"You made everything about you."
"You loved me in the way that hurt most."
– that’s what she said when she left
[Final Chorus]
Maybe I was selfish
Maybe I was wrong
But you looked me in the eyes and told me I was home
Now I’m screaming at the sky
Wishing you'd said goodbye
Not left me with a note
And the ghost of what you felt inside
[Outro – gebrochene Stimme]
And I still play that song
Even if I play it all alone
Your words still echo in my chest
But the roof is quiet…
except for the mess
(Stimme bricht, letzter Ton zieht sich… dann nur noch Schluchzen. Gitarre klingt langsam aus.)
Des is es nicht. Aber danke
