[Instrumental Intro — icy analog pad, chorus-guitar arpeggio, drum-machine pulse; distorted bass ostinato enters immediately and never stops] [Verse 1 — detached, intimate single lead] You came through at four-thirteen Rain on your coat where no rain had been You knew the knock, you knew the code You knew which wire kept the hallway closed You touched my face like you remembered how Then watched me cry like you were learning it now I should’ve reached for the signal flare Instead, I stepped back and left you there [Pre-Chorus — tension rising] I should’ve tested every word Should’ve checked your pulse against the hum But loneliness can make a shape look human When it comes home wearing someone you love [Chorus — raw drums, fuzz guitars, strained vocal] You came back wrong You came back warm You put your hand where your hand belonged I killed the light I pulled you close I let the dark decide what I know You came back wrong But you came back And I could not send you back [Verse 2 — bass remains relentless] You sleep so still the room forgets you You never dream, but you say you do You know our stories word for word You laugh half a beat after they hurt You say my name like a password works You hold my shoulder when the signal surges Every morning, I choose not to ask Every night, you get better at being the past [Pre-Chorus — more exposed] I should’ve marked the differences Should’ve shown the others what I found But grief can make a body feel like shelter If it knows when not to make a sound [Chorus — louder, more desperate] You came back wrong You came back warm You put your hand where your hand belonged I killed the light I pulled you close I let the dark decide what I know You came back wrong But you came back And I could not send you back [Bridge — bass, cold pad, rim clicks; close-mic vocal] I know you never crossed that line I heard you begging from the other side I held the lock I held it shut I counted every second till your voice broke up Then the Feedback wore you home Soft enough to call me back You told me I did what I had to You never lived to tell me that You never lived to forgive me Someone else came back [Final Chorus — synths stacked over full guitar wall] You came back wrong You came back warm You wear forgiveness like it was yours I kill the light I pull you close I let the lie become a home You came back wrong But you came back Someone else came back And I let them love me back [Instrumental Outro — vocal ends completely; bass ostinato continues beneath collapsing fuzz chords, synth haze, sustained feedback, and tape-hiss fade]
