You re Gone, I m Here No Signal

You’re gone...

I’m here...

No signal...

Still breathing...

You’re gone...

I’m here...

Don’t call me back...

Not tonight...

You came into my life for a reason,
Not a visit, not a passing phase.
Certain hands, a reckless tenderness,
You turned my pulse into a blaze.

Your sweater hangs in the half-light,
Dust lies softly on the sleeve.
I kept waiting by the doorway
For your voice to say, “I was wrong to leave.”

The room was full of almost,
The air was full of you.
I held my breath for footsteps,
But the silence followed through.


I was scared to break the quiet,
Scared to touch the shape of you.
But every dawn dissolved a little,
Every night let more light through.

Rain-soaked streets went silver,
Blurred the place where we once stayed.
Then a voice rose from the silence:

You are yours again.

You’re not here,
Just me and all the colors of the day.
In this colder light,
I’m learning how to breathe another way.

Your shadow moves through me,
But it doesn’t get to stay.
You taught me how to lose you,
I taught myself to walk away.
[ Hook / Drop ]
You’re gone, I’m here,
No signal, crystal clear.
You’re gone, I’m here,
My pulse is all I hear.

Gone-gone, out of frame.
Here-here, I know my name.
No-no, not tonight.
I breathe in neon light.


I kept the pictures I didn’t need,
Read every “we” till the ink ran thin.
As if the scraps of yesterday
Could pull our unfinished future in.

Half a glass of red by the window,
A cold cigarette in the rain.
We said everything except the words
That might have changed the shape of pain.

Now the glass reflects no trace of you,
No name, no ghost, no faded sign.
I can’t tell when the lock gave way,
Only that these chains aren’t mine.
Pre-Chorus 2]
The cold of every word unspoken
Dug a tunnel through my skin.
I lost myself a hundred times,
Now I choose the road I’m in.

Freedom feels like borrowed clothing,
Something shakes beneath my chest.
I cross the midnight intersection
Into the first no that’s mine.

You’re not here,
Just me and all the colors of the day.
In this colder light,
I’m learning how to breathe another way.

Your shadow moves through me,
But it doesn’t get to stay.
You taught me how to lose you,
I taught myself to walk away.

You’re gone, I’m here,
No signal, crystal clear.
My heart keeps time right here,
I don’t wait for you anymore.

Gone-gone, out of frame.
Here-here, I know my name.
No-no, I won’t wait.
Breathe-breathe, recalibrate.


For the hundredth time, I slid down the wall,
Heart on repeat: don’t wait, don’t call.
Your forever was a pencil line,
Rain took it out one night at a time.

I gathered myself from broken glass,
Let every shard become a window.
Where the dark used to hold me down,
Now there is light, now there is room.

You didn’t break me, I made it through.
I just took too long to know.
I held on to us until the last note,
Now I let the whole thing go.

You’re gone...

I’m here...

No signal...

Still breathing...

Let the city in me go quiet.
Let the rain erase your trace.
I didn’t turn into a stranger.

I came back to my own face.


You’re not here,
Just me and all the colors of the day.
With every new sunrise,
There’s less of you under my skin.

And less of me
Still waiting for you to return.
When silence turns to music
Instead of counting what we lost,

I say it with a smile:

Thank you.
I’m free at last.

You’re gone, I’m here,
No signal, crystal clear.
You’re gone, I’m here,
My pulse is all I hear.

You’re gone, I’m here,
In the dark, I find the light.
You were part of my life,
But never all of mine.

Gone-gone, out of frame.
Here-here, I know my name.
No-no, not tonight.
I breathe in neon light.

Gone...
Gone...

Here...
Here...

I can breathe.

Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ah-ah-ah...

You’re gone...

I’m here...

Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ah-ah-ah...

No signal...

Still breathing...

I can breathe...
I can breathe...
I can breathe...
