[Intro] [Low, intimate male vocal] Late night Whole place quiet Your side still cold Your things ain't here no more I know you meant it I heard you [Verse 1] That hoodie still hangs by the door I ain't moved it Don't know why Still catch myself reaching Then remember you're not here You'd lay your head on my chest I'd say, “I got you” I meant it I just never knew Love could get this quiet Never thought we'd be this close And still feel miles apart [Pre-Chorus] You kept the good Next to the pain I did the same Just hid it better We held on Past the point Where holding on Could save us both [Chorus] We were fire in the dark Now it's smoke in the room You were home to me I was home to you I know I gave you reasons You don't owe me another day If walking out brought you peace I won't stand in the way You had me once I won't pretend you didn't But you don't have me tonight Maybe that's the part We both needed [Verse 2] I saw your name disappear From places I could find you Used to check Then stop myself Like I still had a right to You changed the locks I understand I ain't looking for that door Some things don't need fixing Just because we still care And yeah I still love you That's the truth But loving you Don't mean I get to keep you [Pre-Chorus] I was your steady Till I wasn't You were my peace Till we lost it I could tell my side You could tell yours But neither one Changes what we were [Chorus] We were fire in the dark Now the room don't feel the same I gave you all I had You gave what you could give Maybe somewhere in between We got tired of the weight You found your way back to you I won't stand in your way You had me once You don't have me tonight And I can finally say that Without changing your mind [Bridge] [Beat drops back] I don't need closure I heard you the first time I don't need one more chance Just to turn back time If your peace is over there Then stay there I'll respect it And if you never say my name again I'll still remember How you said mine [Final Chorus] We were fire in the dark But the dark don't owe us nothing What we had was real Even if it couldn't hold us You took back your days You took back your name I ain't reaching out Just to ease my pain You were part of my story I'll leave it where it belongs I won't rewrite the ending Just because it hurts to lose You walked out wounded I hope you walk out free And if loving you now Means letting you be Then let it be [Outro] Your side still cold Whole place quiet I loved you That's real You had me once You don't have me tonight And somehow I'm okay with that
