Th Space You Leave

**Verse 1**

The night won’t say your name

It just hums like it knows the shape

Of every word I didn’t mean

And every silence in between

I lie awake in borrowed light

Your ghost still feels too close to fight

I hold my breath, like you might hear

Like you’re still almost here

**Pre-Chorus**

If I move, you fade

If I stay, you hurt

Every memory feels half-made

Like a promise left in the dirt

**Chorus**

Are you still with me

Or just the space you leave?

I reach for something I can’t see

But I swear it’s breathing

If I let this go

Do I disappear too?

I don’t know who I am alone

Without you

**Verse 2**

Your voice lives in the walls

Soft echoes, then nothing at all

I talk to you like you’ll respond

Like you’re only gone for now

Time drips slow down my spine

Every second asking “why?”

If love’s a place I can’t return

Why does it still burn?

**Pre-Chorus**

I keep your shape in mind

Like it’s safer than the truth

If I let the real you die

There’s nothing left to lose

**Chorus**

Are you still with me

Or just a shadow in the room?

I hold onto the air you breathe

Like it belongs to you

If I close my eyes

Do you fade from view?

Or do I wake up every night

Still reaching for you?

**Bridge (hushed, layered)**

I don’t need answers

I don’t need relief

I just need to know

You remember me

**Outro**

I stay in the quiet

Where you used to be

Not alive

Not gone

Just haunting me
