The Light Is Gone

I used to feel the morning Sun
But now it burns instead of warms
The mirror shows someone I don’t know
A shadow wrapped in quiet storms

And you kept trying to pull me back
But I was slipping through the cracks
You loved a ghost I couldn’t see
Even when that ghost was me

I'm sorry I can’t stay, the light is gone
The fight I had, it didn’t last that long
Don’t search for me in songs or skies
I’ve folded all my last goodbyes
Please don’t think that you did wrong
It’s not your fault the light is gone

I wrote your name on every page
But the story blurred with silent rage
I wore a smile you thought was true
But it was just a mask for you

I know you tried to hold me near
But love can’t fix what’s disappeared
Don’t blame the dark for what I chose
Some hearts were never meant to glow

I'm sorry I can’t stay, the light is gone
The fight I had, it didn’t last that long
Don’t search for me in songs or skies
I’ve folded all my last goodbyes
Please don’t think that you did wrong
It’s not your fault the light is gone

Maybe in dreams, I’ll say your name
Whisper it soft, then fade again
You gave me more than I could be
But broken souls don’t come back clean

I'm sorry I can’t stay, the light is gone
But in your heart, keep holding on
Don’t follow me into the gray
Live the life I threw away
And if you ever feel alone
Just know: You loved me when I was gone
