You Left Without Leaving

[Intro] (mmm...) [Verse 1] Your side of the bed still keeps the shape of sleep But the warmth that used to live there left first I catch the ghost of your shampoo in the hallway air Long after the bottle ran dry weeks ago [Pre-Chorus] I keep waiting for your eyes To stop looking past my face But they stay fixed on something Just beyond my left shoulder Like I'm already halfway gone [Hook] You left without leaving You're still in the room but gone I can hear the quiet of your breathing And somehow that makes it worse You left without leaving I don't know how to ask If you're ever coming back Or if this is all we'll ever have [Verse 2] The same dog-eared page still marks our place Where we stopped reading three weeks back We still finish each other's half-formed thoughts But every silence says more than we do The inches between our bodies at night Have started counting themselves in years [Pre-Chorus] I keep searching for the line Between habit and intention But the line keeps dissolving Every night we lie this close Close enough to brush your skin Too far to truly reach [Hook] You left without leaving You're still in the room but gone I can hear the quiet of your breathing And somehow that makes it worse You left without leaving I don't know how to ask If you're ever coming back Or if this is all we'll ever have [Bridge] I don't need a fight I don't need excuses I just need the truth Am I the only one still reaching For something that already Learned how to live without me? Or have we both been grieving Something neither of us buried? [Final Hook] You left without leaving You're still in the room but gone I can hear the quiet of your breathing And somehow that makes it worse You left without leaving Maybe that's the hardest part Loving someone Who's already learned to live alone [Outro] The light beneath the door still glows But it never means you're coming through
