The window's still open, the night drifts through slow
I swear I can feel you in the way the leaves blow
Your book's on the table, the spine gently worn
But you left like a storm that forgot to warn

I wait for a sign, for the sound of your key
But the silence just grows where your voice used to be

Gone without goodbye
No last word, no slow fading light
You disappeared into the quiet
And I'm still standing in the fire
Gone without goodbye
Like you meant to erase the sky
But I remember
Even when you tried to hide

Your coat's by the door, still holding its shape
I fold it each night, like it might still escape
I light up the room, though I know you won't come
But I talk to your ghost like we're still someone

The coffee goes cold while I picture your face
And I breathe like I'm chasing what time won't replace

Gone without goodbye
No letter, no trail to retrace
You left a mark that won't come clean
Like ink that soaked into the seams
Gone without goodbye
Not even a look back in your eyes
But I remember
Even now, when you don't try

They say we're made of stars and ash
But you? You were the match
You burned through everything we had
And still, I'd light it all again
Just to hear you say my name

Gone without goodbye
But I still see you in my sleep
Still feel the echo in my chest
Like something loved but never kept
Gone without goodbye
And I don't ask the reason why
I just remember
The parts of you that never lied
