Your sweater's still on the back of my chair
Coffee stains on the table, like you're still there
I play that song we both used to hate
Funny how now it makes me wait
Your laughter stuck in these hallway walls
Footsteps silent, but I hear them all
The door stays closed but feels half open
Like all these words we left unspoken
I'm staring at the space
Where you used to be
Your ghost in the light, right next to me
Trying to fill this air, trying to breathe
But it's empty right here
Where you used to be
Your books untouched on the second shelf
Dust collecting where you sat yourself
Left your keys on the kitchen floor
Like you're coming back through that door
But days go by and nights hit hard
And I'm stuck playing your favorite cards
Wishing you'd text, wishing you'd call
But I'm here talking to these four walls
Still got your name saved
But I scroll past it
Heart says"reach out"
But I know I won't last it
Slammin' doors in my head
Rewriting what you said
Every late night walk
Turns to words unsaid
Running in circles
On this bedroom floor
Rewinding laughs
That don't play no more
I write these lines
Just to clear my chest
But even in rhyme
You're still my unrest
I'm staring at the space
Where you used to be
Your ghost in the light, right next to me
Trying to fill this air, trying to breathe
But it's empty right here
Where you used to be
I leave the light on like you're coming back
Change the sheets, hide the tracks
But no matter what I say or do
This room keeps bringing me back to you
I'm staring at the space
Where you used to be
Your ghost in the light, right next to me
Trying to fill this air, trying to breathe
But it's empty right here
Where you used to be
