(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
