Lyrics


(Duet)
[Verse 1 – Female]
He left without saying a word
The day after I found that hair tie that wasn’t mine
I know what it was there from
But I don’t know why?
I didn’t have a chance to ask
And he didn’t say
Just packed his bags in silence
And walked away
[Pre-Chorus – Female]
I stared at that twisted band on the floor
A stranger’s echo in our home
My heart shattered, but the questions burned more
Why’d you throw us away for someone unknown?
[Chorus – Both, harmonizing]
We built this love on promises we swore
But one mistake tore it all apart
I’m left here wondering what it was for
You’re gone, but you still own my heart
What’s left to say when the damage is done?
Just echoes of goodbye under the sun
[Verse 2 – Male]
Of course you were right what it was from
I left without a word because no matter what I said
It wouldn’t make a difference
Know that I still love you
And I’m a fool that made a mistake
Hopefully over time you will forgive me
But I know you’ll never take me back
So what is there to say?
[Pre-Chorus – Male]
I couldn’t face the hurt in your eyes
Knew my excuses would fall flat and cold
One night of weakness, a lifetime of lies
Left me regretting what I can’t hold
[Chorus – Both, harmonizing]
We built this love on promises we swore
But one mistake tore it all apart
I’m left here wondering what it was for
You’re gone, but you still own my heart
What’s left to say when the damage is done?
Just echoes of goodbye under the sun
[Bridge – Female starts, Male joins]
[Female] Why’d you let her in, why’d you break us down?
[Male] I hate myself more than you’ll ever know
[Female] That hair tie’s a scar I can’t erase now
[Male] Forgive my foolish heart, even if you let me go
[Both] Maybe time will heal, or maybe it won’t
But this goodbye lingers like a ghost
[Final Chorus – Both, softer then building, raw emotion]
We built this love on promises we swore
But one mistake tore it all apart
I’m left here wondering what it was for
You’re gone, but you still own my heart
What’s left to say when the trust is gone?

Just silent regrets from dusk till dawn
Hair tie goodbye… what’s left to say?
[Outro – Female fades out, Male echoes]
[Female] He left without saying a word…
[Male] What is there to say?
