I said I’d never come back here
But the key still fits, and the room feels near
Same cracked mirror, same pale light
Same ghost I tried to leave behind
The bed still knows my shape
The walls still hold your name
Room 209, where I lost track
Of who I was and can’t get back
You said goodbye without a sound
And I stayed after you walked out
I open the door, pretend it’s gone
But every night, it lingers on
I’m not stuck, but I still find
Myself inside Room 209
I left the window half-way wide
So the air still smells like that night
You laughed, and then the silence came
Like thunder after gentle rain
And now I sleep with clothes still on
Afraid of what dreams might come
Room 209, where I lost track
Of who I was and can’t get back
You said goodbye without a sound
And I stayed after you walked out
I open the door, pretend it’s gone
But every night, it lingers on
I’m not stuck, but I still find
Myself inside Room 209
Maybe some places never leave
Even when we choose to leave
Room 209, it knows me well
Every sigh, each silent yell
If you return, I won’t be there
But part of me is always scared
That some small version of this pain
Will check back in and sign my name
I’ll move on, but part will hide—
Still dreaming of Room 209
