Still Here Without You

Mm…

I didn’t know goodbye would sound like this.

Your shoes still by the doorway,

Like you’re coming back tonight.

I keep talking to the silence,

Like you’re just in the other room.

Every laugh still hangs around,

In the walls, in the lights.

I replay you in my head

So I don’t forget the sound.

They say time is supposed to heal,

But it just taught me how to miss you slow.

Every day feels unfamiliar

Without your shadow close.

I’m still here without you,

Learning how to breathe alone.

Every place we used to go

Feels colder than I know.

If love doesn’t disappear,

Then where did you go?

I’m still here without you—

And I don’t know how to let you go.

Mm…

Yeah…

I fold your name into my prayers,

Even though I don’t believe.

I keep your messages saved

Like they’re proof you used to be.

The world kept turning like nothing changed,

But something left with you.

Now every future I imagined

Ends a little too soon.

They say you’re in a better place,

I just wish I knew the way.

If heaven feels like home again,

Why does mine feel empty?

I’m still here without you,

Wearing days I never chose.

Smiling when I have to

So nobody really knows.

If love is supposed to stay,

Then why do I feel so alone?

I’m still here without you—

Trying not to break down slow.

If I could trade the years I have,

I’d give them back to you.

If I could hear your voice once more,

I’d let the world fall through.

I’m still here without you,

But I carry you in me.

Every song, every quiet night,

Every fragile memory.

If I ever learn to smile again,

Know it’s because of you.

I’m still here without you—

But everything I am is proof.

Goodnight…

I miss you.
