Left in the Dark

[Verse 1] I am the shadow you designed me You pulled my heart apart And worst of all, to stay alive I had to kill the part of me that sparked When I thought you meant love [Chorus] I hope you know what you took from me How you broke it and left me bleeding I want you to ache like I ache in the dark and I want you to fall like I fall when I start What we could’ve held Oh, what we could’ve held [Bridge – Vocal + ambient layers] Why couldn’t you see who I was? What we could’ve held [Verse 2 – Half-sung / Half-rap cadence] Now I’m the echo in your hallway The voice you can’t unhear I don’t care what version you gave me 'Cause I was never just spare I was meant to be real [Violin Solo – ethereal and cinematic swell layered with ambient pads] [Chorus – with harmonies and piano re-entry] I hope you know what you took from me How you broke it and left me bleeding I want you to ache like I ache in the dark and I want you to fall like I fall when I start What we could’ve held Oh, what we could’ve held [Outro – Soft vocals fading into reverb] I want you to ache like I ache in the dark and I want you to fall like I fall when I start What we could’ve held
