Title: Leftover Light

Leftover Light is a quiet confession wrapped in piano and silence.

This episode isn’t about the moment love ends—it’s about what stays behind after it’s gone. The habits you can’t break. The objects that suddenly feel heavier. The light you forget to turn off because some part of you is still waiting.

Through intimate vocals and restrained instrumentation, Leftover Light explores grief in its softest form—the kind that lives in hallways, empty rooms, and ordinary mornings. It’s about learning to exist in spaces that once held someone else, and realizing that sometimes the hardest thing isn’t losing love…

it’s surviving what remains of it.

📝 Lyrics – Leftover Light

[Intro: Soft, slow piano melody with plenty of space between notes]

(Verse 1)

The milk you liked is waiting there, the one in the blue carton

I still leave the porch light on, now the garden’s overgrown

There’s a coat hook in the hallway, cold as any stone

I still walk around it, like I’m not here alone

The silence isn't quiet, it’s a ringing in my ears

The echo of the “I love yous” I haven’t heard in years

(Chorus)

’Cause I’m living in the spaces that you used to fill

And I’m waiting for the world to just… stand still

You’re a song I can’t unlearn, a bridge I couldn't burn

Just a shadow on the floor where the sun refuses to turn

It’s not the losing you that’s killing me tonight

It’s the flickering glow of your leftover light

(Verse 2)

I found your silver earring in the crack beside the bed

Small enough to lose, but it weighs as much as lead

I tried to move the furniture to get a better view

But every window in this house is just a frame for you

The clock is ticking slower, like it’s dragging through the mud

I’ve got your memory flowing like a fever in my blood

(Chorus)

’Cause I’m living in the spaces that you used to fill

And I’m waiting for the world to just… stand still

You’re a song I can’t unlearn, a bridge I couldn't burn

Just a shadow on the floor where the sun refuses to turn

It’s not the losing you that’s killing me tonight

It’s the flickering glow of your leftover light

(Bridge)

Maybe I’m a masochist for keeping every trace

For looking for your shadow in a stranger's passing face

But if I let the ashes settle, if I sweep the floor clean

Does it mean it never happened? Was it all just a dream?

(Outro)

Just a dream…

Yeah, the milk is turning sour

But the light is still on

Your leftover light

Still on…
