[Verse 1] Your name lit up my screen last night, a ghost I wasn’t ready to face. It lingered there, flickering, like the glow of a distant storm rolling back in. I thought I buried you under the weight of moving on, but here you are, knocking, like you never slammed the door behind you. [Pre-Chorus] I taught myself to live in the silence you left behind, filled the empty spaces with voices that weren’t yours. Now you come back, like an old song on a late-night radio, (whispered, no instrumental: but I won’t press rewind…) [Chorus] (Music swells back in) Leave me alone— don’t stand in the doorway like you don’t remember burning this house down. I stitched myself back together, don’t make me unravel just to feel your hands again. I learned how to breathe without you, don’t make me forget how to survive. [Post-Chorus] (Soft, almost spoken, fading into a whisper) I don’t dream in your colors… I don’t bleed in your name. [Verse 2] You say you were lost, like that justifies the wreckage, like the fire didn’t swallow me whole. Do you even remember the night you left? The way your words landed dull and heavy, how I stood in the rain, waiting for footsteps that never turned back? [Pre-Chorus] I taught myself to live in the silence you left behind, filled the empty spaces with voices that weren’t yours. Now you come back, like an old song on a late-night radio, (whispered, no instrumental: but I won’t press rewind…) [Chorus] (Music swells back in) Leave me alone— don’t stand in the doorway like you don’t remember burning this house down. I stitched myself back together, don’t make me unravel just to feel your hands again. I learned how to breathe without you, don’t make me forget how to survive. [Bridge] (Music fades to near silence, breathy delivery, almost spoken at first) I walked through fire, made peace with the ashes, learned how to stand where you left me to fall. (pause, whispered: I don’t dream in your colors… I don’t bleed in your name…) I don’t wait by the phone anymore, I don’t carve my love into your absence. (building: I don’t dream in your colors… I don’t bleed in your name…) [Final Chorus] (Full, powerful, anthemic) Leave me alone— don’t stand in the doorway like you don’t remember burning this house down. I stitched myself back together, don’t make me unravel just to feel your hands again. I learned how to breathe without you, don’t make me forget how to survive. [Outro] (Stripped-down, soft, but unwavering) I don’t dream in your colors… I don’t bleed in your name. (whisper: Not anymore.)
