【verse 1】
i never shout, i never stay
i leave in quiet, slip away
like footprints fading in the snow
you might not feel it, but you'll know
i’m in the books you never read
the coffee cup, the thread that’s freed
a whisper pressed between the seams
of every night you lose to dreams
【chorus】
these are the traces i leave behind
not loud, not bright, but still aligned
the empty chair, the undone note
the way your name gets caught in throat
i vanish soft, like breath on glass
but still remain in what won’t pass
【verse 2】
i fold myself into the breeze
the echo tucked in rustling leaves
i’m just a song you used to play
but hum unconsciously each day
you think i’m gone, but i exist
in every pause, in every twist
of thought you try to turn around
yet still hear silence wear my sound
【chorus】
these are the traces i leave behind
not loud, not bright, but still aligned
the empty chair, the undone note
the way your name gets caught in throat
i vanish soft, like breath on glass
but still remain in what won’t pass
【outro】
i don’t stay…
but i don’t fade away…
