[Intro – soft piano]
(instrumental – gentle piano + distant violin)
[Verse 1]
I still hear your voice in the quiet
Echoes dancing through my mind
Every corner holds a memory
Of a love I left behind
I reach out in the silence
But there’s nothing there to hold
Just a shadow of a feeling
And a heart that’s growing cold
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to let you go
But you’re written in my soul
[Chorus – emotional peak]
Now you’re gone… and I’m still here
Drowning in the words I never said
Every night, I disappear
Into the ghost of us instead
Now you’re gone… I can’t move on
Every piece of me feels wrong
I was strong… but I was wrong
I needed you… now you’re gone
[Verse 2]
There’s a picture on the table
Where your smile still looks alive
But the colors slowly fade now
Just like us over time
I keep chasing all the moments
That we’ll never get to make
Holding on to broken pieces
Of a love we couldn’t save
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to say goodbye
But it’s you I can’t deny
[Chorus – bigger, with violin]
Now you’re gone… and I’m still here
Drowning in the words I never said
Every night, I disappear
Into the ghost of us instead
Now you’re gone… I can’t move on
Every piece of me feels wrong
I was strong… but I was wrong
I needed you… now you’re gone
[Bridge – piano only → violin swell]
If I could turn back time
I’d hold you one last night
Tell you all the things I hid
Before we said goodbye
(violin rises)
But time won’t hear my cries
And love just passed me by…
[Final Chorus – full emotion]
Now you’re gone… and I’m still here
Fighting every silent tear
Every breath just feels so long
Living in a world without you on
Now you’re gone… I can’t pretend
That my heart will ever mend
I was strong… till the end
But I lost you… my only friend
[Outro – soft piano + violin fade]
Now you’re gone…
And I’m still holding on…
