Lyric

Half an Orange

Tera Kira

If only I could blame the setting sun

Then maybe I could let the tears all run

But time remains without a name, it stays

Collecting in my chest, these heavy days

And even now, you’re stuck mid-dream, it seems

Like something left behind within my schemes

Like a lost possession, standing still in time

While I’m left here, trying to find the rhyme

The days are drying out, but like a ghost

The scent of peeled fruit, hurting me the most

It lingers on my fingers, won't let go

A trace of you, that only I would know

You never said a word, but taught me well

That some things never return, under this spell

Even the nights I spent with eyes cast down

Even the weakness in this quiet town

Because of you, they shone with light so rare

Everything you touched, had a glow to share

The more I tell myself I won't break apart

The shallower the breath inside my heart

The silence of that day, the warmth you used to hold

I keep it all inside, a story yet untold

Together with you, deep within my soul

They pop and linger, making me feel whole

A trace of sweetness, mixed with bitter sting

This is the song that the sunset likes to sing

I can’t move until the night has reached its end

You’re still my sunset, my only distant friend

The darker it gets, the clearer you appear

I trace your back, though you’re nowhere near

The reality I can't hold, the weight I can't sustain

With every touch, I only find more pain

No reason for the tears, they just multiply

What was the last color that filled your sky?

Inside a heaven that I’ll never know

Where did you go? Where did the colors go?

If you are looking up at the sky tonight

And seeing the same fading, dying light

Then it’s okay to forget my name, it’s fine

If that’s the price for the stars to align

I cared for you more than I knew I could

I lived in your life, better than I should

And ever since, I’ve forgotten how to breathe

Living in the space that you had to leave

Days that were too close, feel like a lie

So far away, beneath a hollow sky

It’s not forgetting—that’s the only truth I keep

The memory of you, in the shadows deep

Everything we were—the goodbye and the light

You wrapped it all in your time, held it tight

A trace of you stays, bittersweet and profound

Like half an orange, left on the ground

Abandoned here, but it's still here with me
