Lyrics;
[Female Voice — Verse 1]
I left the hallway light on, glowing soft against the walls,
A quiet place for you to land, a space where all your darkness falls.
But midnight slipped into the morning, and the silence felt like stone,
Your footsteps never touched the doorway, and I felt the truth alone.
I curled up wearing your old sweater, breathing in the hint of rain,
Trying to hold onto the pieces of the love that still remained.
But every hour without your shadow felt like seconds carved in bone,
And the world kept getting colder
On the night you didn’t come home.
[Male Voice — Verse 2]
I didn’t mean to disappear, didn’t mean to break your trust,
But some nights the weight I carry turns my heartbeat into dust.
I was walking through a darkness that I never learned to name,
Trying not to let you see the parts of me that drip with shame.
I know you waited by the window, watching headlights pass you by,
Wondering if I lost my way or if I simply didn’t try.
But I was fighting with my shadows, scared to let you see me fall,
And I swear I wasn’t leaving
I was just trying to make it home to you at all.
[Both Voices — Pre-Chorus]
I felt you calling in the quiet, in the ache between each breath,
Your heartbeat like a lighthouse pulling me back from the edge of death.
But the distance grew between us, like an ocean made of doubt,
And the words we couldn’t speak were the ones that shut us out.
[Both Voices — Chorus]
And the night you didn’t come home,
Everything inside me broke,
Every minute felt like fire,
Every silence felt like smoke.
Why does love burn when it’s empty?
Why do hearts turn into stone?
Why did the world stop turning
The night you didn’t come home?
Yeah, the night you didn’t come home,
Every shadow whispered fear,
I reached out into the darkness
Hoping somehow you were near.
Every heartbeat felt like trembling,
Every memory felt unknown,
And the world caved in around me
The night you didn’t come home.
[Female Voice — Verse 3]
I played the voicemail that you left me till the words blurred into one,
Heard the shaking in your breathing, heard the way your voice came undone.
You said, “I’m trying to be better, I’m just lost inside my mind,”
And I held onto that sentence like a lifeline intertwined.
Loving you is soft and heavy, loving you is sweet and rough,
Sometimes it feels like holding lightning when the sky has had enough.
But I’d open every door for you, even ones that lead to pain,
Even ones that test my heart
Again and again.
[Male Voice — Verse 4]
I know I’ve always been the thunder, you’ve always been the gentle blue,
And I keep clashing with the quiet things that matter most to you.
But there’s something in your softness that reminds me I’m still whole,
Something in your patient love that stitches pieces of my soul.
And though I failed you in that moment, left you waiting in the cold,
You’re the place my heart runs back to when the world feels uncontrolled.
So I’m standing at your doorway now, hoping you’ll forgive this part,
Hoping love can still redeem
A wandering heart.
[Both Voices — Bridge]
Maybe healing isn’t pretty, maybe love is bruised and torn,
Maybe hearts learn how to hold each other after they’ve been worn.
But I’d walk a thousand broken nights, I’d fight every fear alone,
Just to promise with my trembling hands—
I’m yours, I’m finally home.
[Both Voices — Final Chorus]
And the night I didn’t come home,
I learned love is choosing you,
Even when my soul is shaking,
Even when I’m scared and bruised.
Hold me even when I’m breaking,
Pull me close when I feel numb,
’Cause my heart burned in the darkness
The night I didn’t come home.
Yeah, the night I didn’t come home…
I found my way back through the fear,
Through the echoes, through the trembling,
Through the thought of losing you, my dear.
If love is made of falling,
Then please catch me when I roam,
’Cause my soul is yours forever—
I’m home, I’m home, I’m home.
