Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – airy pad, faint breath] Mm… Yeah… It’s quiet now. [Verse 1 – close, reflective] Your shoes are still by the wall, Like you meant to stay a little more. I tell myself it’s nothing at all, But I look at them every time I walk through the door. We said we’d be honest till the end, Funny how silence still wins. I don’t hear you leaving in my head, I just feel where you’ve been. [Pre-Chorus – gentle lift] I keep replaying what we didn’t say, Like maybe words could make you stay. [Chorus – soft ache] Now it’s quiet after you, Nothing loud, just missing truth. We didn’t break, we just grew thin, Love faded slow, then folded in. I still reach when the night feels long, Still hum our almost-song. It’s quiet after you… And I don’t know what to do. [Post-Chorus – echoed hum] Mm… Yeah… [Verse 2 – late-night sadness] I learned your habits better than my own, The way you’d sigh before you slept. Now the bed feels overgrown, With all the things we never kept. You said I’d be okay in time, I nodded like I believed. But every clock tick feels like a lie, When you’re the one thing I need. [Pre-Chorus – fragile] I don’t blame you for choosing peace, I just wish it didn’t cost me you. [Chorus – fuller, layered] Now it’s quiet after you, Every room feels unfinished too. No slammed doors, no broken things, Just memories echoing. I still wake up reaching out, Like you’re just not around. It’s quiet after you… And that’s the loudest sound. [Bridge – stripped piano, soft strings] Maybe love doesn’t always end in flames, Maybe it just cools with time. But knowing that don’t ease the pain Of losing something that felt like mine. [Final Chorus – gentle release] Now it’s quiet after you, I’m learning how to sit with truth. If loving you was all I knew, Then letting go is something new. I’ll find myself in pieces small, In mornings that don’t call your name. It’s quiet after you… But I’ll survive the space. [Outro – pad fades, soft breath] Mm… Yeah… Quiet.
