Just The Next Room

Verse 1

Don’t count the silence like a loss in the dark

I didn’t vanish, I just slipped past the spark

Through a doorway you can’t quite see

But I’m still me… I’m still me

Nothing shattered, nothing undone

Same old story, same old sun

All the love we used to hold

Hasn’t faded, hasn’t grown cold

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Say my name like you always do

Like I’m still right next to you

⸻

Chorus

I’m just in the next room waiting

Not gone, just rearranging

Time and space between your hands

But love still stands

Laugh the way we used to laugh

Don’t let the silence feel like that

I’m not lost, I’m just out of view

Still right here… with you

⸻

Verse 2

No heavy shadows in your tone

Don’t turn my memory into stone

Let it breathe, let it stay light

Like we’re talking late at night

Call me like you always did

Through every joke, through every little thing

Let my name live easy on your tongue

Like a song still being sung

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Don’t dress me up in sorrow’s weight

I’m closer than you think I am, just wait

⸻

Chorus

I’m just in the next room waiting

Not gone, just rearranging

Time and space between your hands

But love still stands

Laugh the way we used to laugh

Don’t let the silence feel like that

I’m not lost, I’m just out of view

Still right here… with you

⸻

Bridge

Round the corner, just beyond

Where the days keep moving on

It’s a pause, not the end

We’ll pick up where we’ve been

One small moment, then you’ll see

It was never goodbye to me

⸻

Breakdown (soft / spoken or minimal)

All is well…

Nothing’s gone…

Just a step… just a dawn…

⸻

Final Chorus (bigger, emotional lift)

I’m just in the next room waiting

Not gone, just rearranging

Every tear you cry for me

I still see

And when the distance disappears

We’ll laugh about these borrowed years

Like no time ever passed us through

I’ll be right there… with you

⸻

Outro

So don’t say goodbye…

Just say “see you soon”…
