The city sleeps beneath the snow While I watch lights from room zero-four-oh The minibar holds all I feel Empty glass, nothing real You swore you'd never walk away But echoes lie where voices fade Your coat is gone, the cold remains I whisper love into the pain You said you'd stay, through fire, through rain But promises don’t hold like chains December’s end, in this hotel Feels more like dying than farewell Confetti falls on strangers’ skin While I drown in what we’ve been The clock struck twelve, no call, no name Just silence dressed in holiday shame I kept your gifts, unopened still Like wounds that time refuses to heal You wrote forever on my hand Now it just smears like sinking sand I begged the stars, they turned away Just like you did that final day You said you'd stay, through fire, through rain But promises don’t hold like chains December’s end, in this hotel Feels more like dying than farewell The fireworks mean nothing now Just noise to hide a broken vow I replay each word, each breath, each lie Like ghostly film beneath closed eyes You were the end I didn’t see Now new year’s starts without me You said you'd stay, but people change And love becomes a foreign name I toast alone to what we were While strangers kiss, and memories blur If I don’t wake when morning's near Just know: I stayed When you disappeared
