[INTRO]
L… O… V… E…
You only spell it once you’re dizzy off the high
But you don’t really understand it,
‘Til you’re left choking in the sigh
‘Cause when commitment burns out
And the fairytale falls apart
You learn the silent definition,
Leaving One Very Empty in the dark

[VERSE 1]
They never tell you that love feels like a funeral when it’s over
That shaking hands and shattered hope, feel colder than October
You search your bed for fingerprints that don’t exist anymore
Stare at the ceiling, tryna remember
Who the hell you were before
You lose appetite for breathing, but crave closure like a drug
Feel nostalgia in your bones, but hatred in every hug
You want them back and gone, at the same exact time
‘Cause healing ain’t a straight line, it’s a violent grind

[PRE-CHORUS]
You gave pieces of your soul, thinking it’d make you whole
Not knowing how sacrifice can collapse your control
You poured gold in their cracks, but they shattered your art
Now that same word L-O-V-E, is branding your heart

[CHORUS]
L-O-V-E, LEAVING ONE VERY EMPTY
When those promises decay, when forever turns to memory
It don’t fade out soft, it collapses like a war
And the silence after heartbreak
Feels louder than before
L-O-V-E, ain’t just roses and a spark
It’s learning how to keep breathing
When it leaves you in the dark

[VERSE 2]
You keep rewriting old messages like they’ll rewrite the past
Hoping attachment could resurrect something that was never built to last
You replay every last laugh, every whisper of their name
And you can’t tell if you want them back
Or just want someone else to blame
Every love song feels like mockery, every quiet room a tomb
You start bargaining with a ghost that ain’t comin’ back soon
You scream “why wasn’t I enough?” as if pain has logic
But love never ends soft, it always ends toxic

[BRIDGE]
No one warns you that heartbreak ain’t just grief, it’s withdrawal
‘Cause you weren’t addicted to the person
You were addicted to how they made you feel at all
And now you’re shaking in the vacancy they carved inside your chest
Nothing scarier than emptiness, where love once manifested

[FINAL CHORUS]
L-O-V-E, LEAVING ONE VERY EMPTY
But the emptiness is sacred, the cocoon before you’re set free
‘Cause love don’t define you, love just amplifies your soul
If it leaves you hollow,  it just showed you what they stole
L-O-V-E,  ain’t the ending, it’s the spark
But some flames must burn you first
Before you ever see the dark turn into dawn

[OUTRO]
L… O… V… E…
It left me broken — but it didn’t leave me dead
Leaving One Very Empty…
Was just clearing space for what’s ahead.
