I Never Left

You lit the sky like a match

Just walked back in no scratch

While I was locked away

Learning how not to break

You act like it's all fine

Like time didn't eat us alive

But I still hear your name

Like a curse in my veins

I had walls I didn't choose

Chains I didn't lose

You thought I vanished

But I was burning for you

I never left

I was taken I was sealed in regret

You say you trained for this

But I was stuck screaming in silence

And I tried to forget your face

But your name still lives in my flame

So don't ask why I turned away

I was surviving

I was surviving

Now you say you missed me

Like, thats supposed to fix the years

But your voice is still the sharpest sound

And your laugh still cuts through fear

You kept that fire bright

While I was dimmed to ash

But you never stopped burning

And I never let it crash

I didn't run I didn't hide

They clipped my wings from inside

You think I changed

But I never said goodbye

I never left

You don't know what silence does to breath

You waited under stars

I clawed through nights that never end

And I swore Id never need you back

But you're the only thing I had

So if you're here

Then I'm done with the past

Done pretending I never cracked

Yeah, I saw you

In every fire I lit alone

And I hated you

For not pulling me home

But truth is

I wouldn't have made it

If I didn't believe you waited

I never left

Even broken, I held on to us

You were the gravity

And I was dust, waiting to touch

Now we're here still scarred still loud

Two stars too close to drown
