Lyric

You stopped reaching for my hand

Before you ever said a word

I felt the distance growing slowly

In every silence that I heard

You still kissed me in the doorway

But your eyes were somewhere else

I kept pretending we were okay

While you were leaving by yourself

I saw the ending in your face

But I was scared to call it true

You let me hold you one last time

While you were already through

You left before goodbye

Before the tears could even find me

You turned off every light

And took the only stars beside me

I was still believing

While you were already letting go

You left before goodbye

And I was the last one left to know

You left me in the night

With every memory still breathing

I tried to make it right

But you had already stopped believing

I was still in love

While you were learning how to let me go

You left before goodbye

And I was the last one left to know

Your sweater’s hanging by the window

Like you might come back again

I know it’s only empty fabric

But I still reach for it in bed

You erased us from your future

While I kept saving every day

I thought love could keep us together

You were quietly walking away

I heard the ending in your voice

Every time you said my name

You held me close enough to hope

Then disappeared without the blame

You left before goodbye

Before the tears could even find me

You turned off every light

And took the only stars beside me

I was still believing

While you were already letting go

You left before goodbye

And I was the last one left to know

You left me in the night

With every memory still breathing

I tried to make it right

But you had already stopped believing

I was still in love

While you were learning how to let me go

You left before goodbye

And I was the last one left to know

No warning, no scene

Just space growing in between

Your heart changed quietly

While mine stayed on repeat

You said nothing was wrong

Till suddenly you were gone

Now I’m dancing with the truth

That I never really knew you

Maybe someday I’ll forgive

The way you faded from my life

But tonight I hear your silence

Louder than our last goodbye

You left before goodbye

Before the tears could even find me

You turned off every light

But left your shadow here beside me

I was still believing

While you were already letting go

You left before goodbye

And I was the last one left to know

You left me in the night

But now the morning’s slowly breaking

I still miss you sometimes

But I can feel my heart awakening

I was still in love

Now I’m learning how to let you go

You left before goodbye

But I won’t be the last to know
