[Verse 1]
I heard your voice across the room tonight
Felt my heart break all over, just like before
You looked at me like I was just a stranger
But I was the one you swore you adored
I kept your secrets under my skin
Carried your love like a silent prayer
Now every corner of this empty house
Reminds me that you’re no longer there
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to hold on to what we were
But you let go without a word
[Chorus]
If you meant goodbye, why didn’t you say it?
Why did you leave me here in the dark?
I would’ve let you go if you were honest
Instead you went and shattered my heart
Now I’m picking up pieces you left behind
Learning to live without your light
If you meant goodbye…
Why couldn’t you just say it?
[Verse 2]
I still remember how you used to laugh
Like I was everything you’d ever need
But love don’t fade without a warning
It disappears with a different kind of speed
You left a silence I can’t escape
A quiet louder than any scream
And now I’m stuck with all the questions
And the ghost of what we used to be
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you all that I could give
But you walked away like it was nothing
[Chorus – more powerful]
If you meant goodbye, why didn’t you say it?
Why did you leave me here in the dark?
I would’ve let you go if you were honest
Instead you went and shattered my heart
Now I’m drowning in words you never said
Haunted by echoes in my head
If you meant goodbye…
Why couldn’t you just say it?
[Bridge – soft → big emotional rise]
Maybe I was blind, maybe I believed too much
Maybe love just isn’t meant for us
But I would’ve stayed through every storm
If you had just been honest from the start
[Final Chorus – big Adele-style climax]
If you meant goodbye, you should’ve said it
I would’ve found a way to let you go
But you chose silence over truth
And left me here to face it all alone
Now I’m stronger than I’ve ever been
But I still feel you under my skin
If you meant goodbye…
I wish you had just said it
[Outro – soft piano, fading voice]
I would’ve let you go…
