# Like It’s Mine Alone — Akaki

This track is about being left with the weight of someone else’s leaving, as if their goodbye became your fault to carry. The image came from lipstick on glass, smoke in blue light, and a memory that refuses to fade cleanly.

## Lyrics

### Verse 1

Your shadow stayed
After you left
Still on the wall
Still in my chest

I read the night
Like it might bend
Turn one wrong word
Into the end

### Pre-Chorus

So give me a reason
That isn’t my name
Give me a door
That I didn’t break

### Chorus

Say it was the timing
Say it was the dark
Don’t leave your leaving
Printed on my heart

Say it was a fire
We could never hold
Don’t make me wear it
Like it’s mine alone

### Verse 2

I kept the glass
You used that night
Lipstick and smoke
Under blue light

I play it back
Frame after frame
You went like rain
I stayed the same

### Build-Up

If you were already gone
Before the last goodbye
Then don’t let silence
Turn into my crime

### Chorus

Say it was the timing
Say it was the dark
Don’t leave your leaving
Printed on my heart

Say it was a fire
We could never hold
Don’t make me wear it
Like it’s mine alone

### Bridge

One lie would hurt less
Than this empty truth
If love was fading
Why did it feel new?

### Final Chorus

Say it was the timing
Say it was the dark
Don’t leave your leaving
Printed on my heart

Say it was a fire
We could never hold
Don’t make me wear it
Like it’s mine alone

### Outro

Not mine alone
Not mine alone
