dark pop, melancholy, atmospheric, emotional, Sa

We fought in the kitchen under tired yellow light
Your words were sharp as glass, my patience out of fight
I pointed to the door and watched you walk away
Never knew that one small sentence would haunt me to this day

Then my phone lit up like a siren in the dark
Your name was gone, replaced by fear that tore my heart apart
They said, "Come now," and the world went cold and thin
I heard my own breath shake as I let the guilt rush in

If I had let you stay, would you still be here tonight?
Would your shadow still be breathing in the corner of my light?
I keep asking heaven why it let the silence win
If I had let you stay, would you still be here again?

I made the call to your mother, my hands would not be still
Her voice broke in the hallway, and I felt the room go chill
I walked that endless corridor, pale walls and buzzing glare
Each step was a confession hanging heavy in the air
You were there in that small bed, machines around your skin
Blinking, beeping, holding on, while my regret spilled in
I could not find a single line that would not sound like blame
So I just said, "I'm sorry," and let it carry your name

If I had let you stay, would you still be here tonight?
Would your shadow still be breathing in the corner of my light?
I keep asking heaven why it let the silence win
If I had let you stay, would you still be here again?

That walk back through the hallway felt like midnight in my chest
I cried until my vision blurred, until there was nothing left
The doors pulled shut behind me like a judgment I deserved
And every breath I took outside felt like a broken word

If I had let you stay, would you still be here tonight?
I carry your last heartbeat like a burn I can't outrun in life
I said goodbye with trembling lips, and the guilt has not let in
If I had let you stay, would you still be here again?

I left with tears still falling, the night too wide to see
And somewhere in that hallway, I lost the part of me
