Still Here Without You

[Intro – airy pads, distant room tone]
Mm…
I didn’t know goodbye would sound like this.
[Verse 1 – hushed, fragile]
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.
[Pre-Chorus – quiet ache]
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.
[Chorus – soft devastation]
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.
[Post-Chorus – wordless echoes]
Mm…
Yeah…
[Verse 2 – reflective, numb]
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.
[Pre-Chorus – deeper weight]
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?
[Chorus – fuller, aching]
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.
[Bridge – stripped, near-whisper]
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.
[Final Chorus – soft acceptance]
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.
[Outro – fading pads, long reverb tail]
Goodnight…
I miss you.
