I Stay Where Love Died - Niko Jarell
The room still feels like yesterday
Even though you're gone
Every corner holds a reason why I'm holding on
I try to move the furniture
I try to change the light
But the silence knows exactly where we lost the fight
I thought time would pull me forward
Show me something new
But my feet keep finding reasons not to move
I stay where love died
In the middle of the truth
Where the last thing that you gave me was the proof
I stay where love died
Between the then and now
I don't chase what's gone forever
I just don't know how
Soft vocal hums
Pens white and gently
Rhythm stays warm and even
I walk through days on borrowed time
Like I'm passing through
Every smile feels unfinished without you
I don't replay all the moments
I don't need the pain
But some places hold your name like a stain
I'm not waiting for an answer
Or a sign to show
I just haven't learned the art of letting go
I stay where love died
Not because I can't escape
But some hearts don't heal by running
They heal by staying awake
I stay where love died
Till I learn to breathe again
Maybe leaving isn't moving
It's knowing when and where
Piano fades to soft single notes
Pads dissolve slowly into silence
Final breathy line
I stay where love died
