Minus

All our pictures still hanging on the back over there.
The ghost of your perfume still lives in the air.
I tried filling the silence with these songs that I write,
But the silence still loud when I sing it at night.
Half of me’s gone and the math feels wrong,
I keep carrying the weight just to move along.
I reach for your hand in my empty room,
But all I can find is the memory of you.

Been tryna find us, to minus the silence,
Caught in the emptiness of what we left behind.
Lost in the background, of when you were mine,
Late nights get lonely, without you by my side.
When the nights turn to mornings, I die a bit inside,
Oh but I’ll keep pretending, that I’ll be just fine.

I still pour two cups, even though I drink alone,
Leave the light on in case you want to come back home.
I scroll through the texts like they’ll rewind the time,
But the more that I stare, the more you’re on my mind.
The walls know the stories we’ll never repeat,
The echoes of us now fall at my feet.
I count every second since you walked away,
Subtracting my peace almost every day.

Been tryna find us, to minus the silence,
Caught in the emptiness of what we left behind.
Lost in the background, of when you were mine,
Late nights get lonely, without you by my side.
When the nights turn to mornings, I die a bit inside,
Oh but I’ll keep pretending, that I’ll be just fine.

Subtract the love and what’s left of me?
Just empty spaces where you used to be.
I fake the smiles but the truth won’t hide,
I’m only half alive in minus tonight.

Been tryna find us, to minus the silence,
Caught in the emptiness of what we left behind.
Lost in the background, of when you were mine,
Late nights get lonely, without you by my side.
When the nights turn to mornings, I die a bit inside,
Oh but I’ll keep pretending, that I’ll be just fine.
