Half of Me

I wake up and the silence hits harder these days

Your chair's still there, but the warmth's gone away

I try to move on, but I'm stuck in rewind

Chasing your voice somewhere in my mind

The world keeps spinning, but mine stood still

Every step I take feels uphill

You were the calm when I was breaking

Now I'm lost in the space you're not taking

'Cause when you left, you took half of me

Now I'm just a shadow of who I used to be

Every smile feels borrowed, every laugh feels wrong

I'm learning how to live where you don't belong

I keep searching for peace, but I can't find the key

'Cause when you left... you took half of me

I still hear your laugh in the corner of the room

Still talk to your picture when the night hits too soon

They say time heals, but it's hard to believe

When every heartbeat just reminds me to grieve

You were my mirror, my home, my truth

And I don't know who I am without you

The days feel longer, the nights feel wide

I keep pretending I'm fine inside

'Cause when you left, you took half of me

Now I'm just a shadow of who I used to be

Every smile feels borrowed, every laugh feels wrong

I'm learning how to live where you don't belong

I keep searching for peace, but I can't find the key

'Cause when you left... you took half of me

I know you'd tell me, "Keep moving on,"

But how do I dance when the music's gone

I'm holding your love like a light in the dark

But it flickers every time I fall apart

When you left, you took half of me

Now I'm just a shadow of who I used to be

I try to be strong, but it's hard to see

How to fill the space where you used to be

I keep searching for peace, but I can't find the key

'Cause when you left... you took half of me

So I'll carry your heart where mine should be

Until the day you give the rest back to me

'Cause when you left... you took half of me
