[Verse 1] I thought she walked away, left me in the dark I held a grudge I never understood, it broke my heart But now the truth is screaming louder than the lies They stole her from me, piece by piece, behind her eyes She was just a little girl, torn apart by hands of shame Locked inside a system built to never take the blame They called her broken, said she chose to fall But she was just surviving — through it all [Chorus] She didn’t leave me, she was taken Every scar, a cry mistaken And I can’t breathe knowing what I didn’t see I hated her when I should've set her free But now I hold her in my soul so deep And I’ll love her where the silence used to be No, she didn’t leave me... She was stolen quietly [Verse 2] The last film we saw, the last time she smiled I didn't know that night would echo all the while Behind her laughter lived a thousand cries And now I feel her pain each time I close my eyes She burned her skin to fight the cold Wore her wounds like stories never told And all the meds and masks they gave Just buried her beneath another wave [Chorus] She didn’t leave me, she was fading In a world too cruel for saving And I can’t breathe knowing what I didn’t see She was screaming in a language lost on me But now I hold her in my soul so deep And I’ll love her where the silence used to be No, she didn’t leave me... She was stolen quietly [Bridge] Now I hate the ones who hurt her, Who crushed her heart and blurred her Who sold her out for shadows and a high And I ache to go back, hold her hand, and cry: “You were never alone… I just didn’t know” [Final Chorus] She didn’t leave me, she was taken And my heart is slowly breaking But I will sing what she could never say I’ll be her voice until my final day And I will hold her in my soul so deep And I’ll love her where the silence used to be No, she didn’t leave me... They just made it too hard to breathe [Outro] I thought she walked away… But now I know she tried to stay And I’ll carry her light Through every night Till we meet again… someday
