The Heart You Left Behind (Radio Edit)

Some nights I still wake up reaching for you
Not because I want you back, but because I want answers
I gave you love, the kind that lights the dark in you
You left me with silence
But even in the silence, I still feel something
Not hate, not regret
Just the echo of a heart that believed maybe too much
This is for the nights I couldn't sleep, for the truth you never said
This is for me now

The phone will never ring
You promised dreams and sold me lies
And walked away like I was nothing again
But I won't be a fool tonight
The truth may bleed
But it feels right

You left me standing in the fire
Burning with the questions in my mind
Threw my hope apart with your desire
And still pretending love was kind
You set forever like a light
But you forgot the heart you left behind

I see a shadow in the streetlights
Your name flickers in every passing train
Still wearing smiles for friends who never knew
The nights I drowned in quiet pain
A dance with ghosts of who we were
Pretending not to see the truth so near
A silent scream louder than your words

And now I'm finally here
I tried to hold what wasn't mine
But now I'm holding peace instead of time

You left me standing in the fire
Burning with questions in my mind
Tore my hope apart with your desire
And still pretending love
Burning with the questions in my mind
Tore my hope apart with your desire
And still pretending love was kind

You set forever like a lie
But you forgot the heart you left behind

You took everything
Except the heart still whispering your name
When the world goes quiet
The heart you left behind
The heart you left behind
The heart you left
