You Never Really Stayed (Official Video)
I thought it was real…
But it was just words.
You said everything I needed to hear,
but you never meant any of it. 💔
Lyrics.
1.
Coffee gone cold on the table
Your chair still pushed in like you’ll be right back
Your sweater sleeps on the cradle
Of the couch where I keep checking the cracks
Chorus
You never really stayed
Just left your ghost in every doorway
Your name on every unpaid bill
Your laugh in every sudden chill
You never really stayed
You just moved out of frame
I clean the room
But nothing fades
You never really stayed
2
Found your note under the fridge light
One word apology
Crooked and small
Funny how ink on a page might
Outlive the promise that started it all
Chorus
You never really stayed
Just left your ghost in every doorway
Your name on every unpaid bill
Your laugh in every sudden chill
You never really stayed
You just moved out of frame
I change the locks
Repaint the pain
You never really stayed
Bridge
Maybe you were
Always half-turned
One hand on the handle
One eye on the world
Chorus
You never really stayed
Just left your ghost in every doorway
Your name on every unpaid bill
Your laugh in every sudden chill
You never really stayed
You just moved out of frame
I learned to breathe in all this space
You never really stayed
