You Left in Smoke

[Verse 1] He stepped inside, And the room went still. Didn’t need the light To know that chill. [Verse 2] I felt his name Slip under my skin. Didn’t ask him back, But he walked right in. [Chorus] Don’t stand there smiling Like nothing broke. I’ve patched that wound You left in smoke. Singin’ tonight, But not for you— Sit in the dark, Like strangers do. [Verse 3] He took a chair Where the silhouettes fall. Didn’t say a word, Didn’t have to at all. [Verse 4] My voice stayed smooth, But my hands ran cold. Funny how a song Can remember the old. [Chorus] Don’t stand there smiling Like nothing broke. I’ve patched that wound You left in smoke. Singin’ tonight, But not for you— Sit in the dark, Like strangers do. [Bridge] He used to know Every breath I’d take. Now every note Keeps him awake. [Final Tag] So let him sit While the truth cuts wide— I’ve moved on clean, But he lost his stride The moment he stepped inside.
