DRESSED IN GOODBYE

By Vera Von Monika

Verse 1
You left your scarf on the back of my chair
Like you wanted to stay but couldn’t bear
The weight of our silence, the storm in your eyes
So I folded your absence and told myself lies

Pre-Chorus
Every cup tastes like your breath
Every song ends in quiet regret

Chorus
You’re dressed in goodbye
Haunting the edges of my nights
Like a shadow stitched in white
You never said the final line
So I keep rewriting time
You’re dressed in goodbye
And I wear your signs

Verse 2
Your coat’s in the hallway, untouched, unmoved
Like our last conversation, quiet, but bruised
I should’ve slammed the door on your name
But love isn’t built to play that game

Pre-Chorus
Your echo walks these floors at dawn
And I pretend I’ve moved on

Chorus
You’re dressed in goodbye
Haunting the edges of my nights
Like a shadow stitched in white
You never said the final line
So I keep rewriting time
You’re dressed in goodbye
And I wear your signs

Bridge
If love was a season, we froze in between
Not winter, not spring, just stuck in the dream
I don’t chase ghosts, but you know how to stay
Not as a man… but the words I can’t say

Final Chorus
You’re dressed in goodbye
Even when I close my eyes
Like a song that won’t rewind
You never said the final line
So I’m trapped in our design
You’re dressed in goodbye
And I’m calling you mine
