I kept the light on just in case
You’d miss the warmth inside this place
But shadows grew where you once stood
And I learned that love can rot like wood

You said nothing when you left
And silence took your shape instead
I folded time like fragile notes
But none of them reached your thread

If you never look back
Will you forget the way I break?
Will you leave my name behind
Like dust that winds refuse to take?
I scream into a sky so still
It doesn't even echo back
If you never look back
Was I ever real to you at all?

Your ghost walks through my quiet days
Uninvited, but it always stays
Even the mirror won’t meet my eyes
It knows the truth I try to hide

I wore your memory like a ring
A circle that won’t mean a thing
Now every breath is counterfeit
And every smile is paper-thin

If you never look back
Will you forget the way I break?
Will you leave my name behind
Like dust that winds refuse to take?
I scream into a sky so still
It doesn't even echo back
If you never look back
Was I ever real to you at all?

I could set the world on fire
And you still wouldn't turn your head
Even the stars can’t pity me
They’ve moved on while I stay dead

If you never look back
Then I’ll fade like I was meant to
Just a flicker in your timeline
A soul you accidentally went through
I scream into a sky so still
It doesn’t even echo back
If you never look back
Then maybe I was never meant to last
