She Never Left

(Verse 1)

She packed no bags, left no sound

Just one less heartbeat in this house

No slammed door, no goodbye

Just silence wrapped in lullabies

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

Still pour her cup at 8 a.m.

Still wait to hear her laugh again

⸻

(Chorus)

She’s gone — but she never left

Still hear her whisper with every breath

The way she moved still haunts these halls

Like she’s waiting in the bedroom walls

I talk like she’s still next to me

Like love can rewrite destiny

She’s gone…

But she never left

⸻

(Verse 2)

Her books are stacked beside the bed

Her perfume lingers in my head

Sometimes I swear I feel her hand

When I can’t bring myself to stand

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

The light still flickers when I pray

Like she’s just a word away

⸻

(Chorus)

She’s gone — but she never left

Still dancing in the life we kept

I wear her hoodie when I sleep

Like she’s still fighting next to me

And I know what the papers said

But not everything alive is flesh

She’s gone…

But she never left

⸻

(Bridge – the reveal)

I never said goodbye out loud

Still leave the porch light on somehow

And when they ask, I say I’m fine

But truth like this don’t heal with time

⸻

(Final Chorus – stripped and slow)

She’s gone — but not like they think

She’s etched in every song I sing

I lost her once… but not the rest

’Cause even death can’t take her breath

She’s gone…

But she never left
