Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You come around when your house feels small,

When the quiet starts to ache.

I make you tea, you fill the air

With stories half-awake.

You say, “I missed this,” like it’s news,

Like you ever really stayed.

You always leave the door half-open,

So it’s me that fades away.

[Pre-Chorus]

I kept a chair for you,

Even when you never sat.

Now there’s a ghost of your outline

Where my patience used to nap.

[Chorus]

You only shine when you borrow light,

When the night begins to press.

You call it love, I call it need,

And neither one fits right, I guess.

You only knock when your world caves in—

When you need a softer place.

But I’m not the wall that holds you up,

I’m the room you can’t replace.

[Verse 2]

You text at noon like nothing cracked,

Like weeks don’t weigh a ton.

You toss me crumbs of what you feel,

Then blame me when you’re done.

I keep pretending I don’t care,

Like calm’s a kind of grace.

But I still flinch at your initials,

Still set another plate.

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I taught you how to listen,

But you never heard a thing.

Now the silence in my chest

Is the only song I sing.

[Chorus 2]

You only shine when you borrow light,

When the dark begins to crawl.

You only love what keeps you safe,

Not the ones who take the fall.

I gave you warmth, you called it luck,

And luck was all you’d keep.

I held the match too long this time—

Now even ash feels deep.

[Bridge]

No screaming now, no grand goodbyes,

No names against the wind.

I learned the art of closing doors

Without letting anger in.

You said, “I’ll change,” and maybe you will,

Just not for me this round.

I used to think you were the storm—

But I was the ground.

[Final Chorus]

You only shine when you borrow light,

But I’m done feeding stars.

You loved the echo, not the voice,

The healer, not the scars.

I hope you find a kinder sun,

One that burns more slow than bright.

’Cause I’m not waiting in the dark again

For someone else’s light.

[Outro – fading vocal / soft feedback hum]

Don’t call again.

The line still hums.

But not for you.

Not anymore.
