I speak your name into the quiet,
Even though you’re not here now.
The echo of the nights we had
Still trembles through my house somehow.
I try to move, but memories stay,
Filling up the empty space.
Every corner of my heart still
Holds your fading trace.
And what we lost still lingers,
Like the warmth of your last touch.
I keep reaching through the shadows,
Still believing it was love.
Maybe time will soften
All the pieces left inside.
But what we lost still lingers,
Even after our goodbye.
Your sweater’s hanging by the doorway,
I tell myself to let it go.
But letting go is harder when
It’s all I’ve ever known.
I try to breathe without your voice,
But silence feels too loud tonight.
Every truth I tried to face
Still doesn’t feel quite right.
And what we lost still lingers,
Like the warmth of your last touch.
I keep reaching through the shadows,
Still believing it was love.
Maybe time will soften
All the pieces left inside.
But what we lost still lingers,
Even after our goodbye.
Maybe someday I’ll remember
Us without the hurt it brings.
Maybe someday I’ll discover
Why love can break and still mean everything.
But what we lost still lingers,
Like a song that won’t let go.
I keep walking through the heartache,
Learning things I never chose.
Maybe healing takes a lifetime,
Maybe I’ll be fine in time.
But what we lost still lingers,
Long after you left my life.
