Courtney’s Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's still a light on your table
There's still your name on my phone
I can't believe I'm not able ... to call

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We met in a beautiful place
You danced, I talked
I go back there every single day
I'm still there ... but you're not

[Chorus]
You lit me up and you led me inside
Then you disappeared with no warning sign
You broke more than my heart
When you left without saying goodbye
I'm here to let you know
I'm here to let you go

[Verse 2]
There's still your voice in my memory
There's still a way that you move
I can't believe that's the way out ... you choose

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We live in a beautiful world
We dance, we talk
I found a girl and she stayed with me
She's here ... and you're not
[Chorus]
You lit me up and you led me inside
Then you disappeared with no warning sign
You broke more than my heart
When you left without saying goodbye
I'm here to let you know
I'm here to let you go

[Bridge]
We live, we breathe
We hope, we bleed
We love, we lose
We die

We live, we breathe
We hope, we bleed
We love, we lose
We die

We live, we breathe
We hope, we bleed
We love, we lose
We die

We live, we breathe
We hope, we bleed
We love, we lose
We die
[Chorus]
You lit me up and you led me inside
Then you disappeared with no warning sign
You broke more than my heart
When you left without saying goodbye
I'm here to let you know
I'm here to let you go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
