[Intro – room tone + guitar hum]
Yeah…
Mm…
It’s quiet again…
[Verse 1 – close, confessional]
Your coffee cup’s still by the sink,
Like you’re just gone longer than I think.
Sunlight hits the way it did
When you’d smile before you’d speak.
I swear I hear your footsteps slow,
Down the hall I still don’t close.
Every corner knows your name,
Even time don’t feel the same.
[Pre-Chorus – breath catches]
I don’t reach out, I don’t call,
I just stare at these walls.
‘Cause loving you still feels too real,
Even when you’re not here.
[Chorus – aching, romantic]
I still see you smile in the dark,
Like you never really fell apart.
I still feel you when I breathe,
Your presence laying next to me.
If missing you’s a way to stay,
Then I’m holding on this way.
I still see you smile, my love,
Even when it hurts this much.
[Verse 2 – softer, heavier]
Your jacket hangs behind the door,
I never moved it like before.
It smells like nights we couldn’t sleep,
Promises we didn’t keep.
I replay moments I should’ve saved,
Every laugh I pushed away.
If I knew that was goodbye,
I would’ve stayed a little longer in your eyes.
[Pre-Chorus – layered echo]
I don’t ask for you to return,
I just sit with what I learned.
That love don’t fade when people go,
It just gets quiet, moves in slow.
[Chorus – fuller, echoing]
I still see you smile in the dark,
Like you never really fell apart.
I still feel you when I breathe,
Your presence laying next to me.
If missing you’s a way to stay,
Then I’m holding on this way.
I still see you smile, my love,
Even when it hurts this much.
[Bridge – stripped, whispered]
If you ever think of me,
I hope it doesn’t hurt.
I hope you laugh the way you did,
Like you always came first.
I’m learning how to let you live,
While you live inside my chest.
[Final Chorus – quiet release]
I still see you smile sometimes,
In passing cars, in city lights.
I don’t chase you, I just stay
With the love that never went away.
If goodbye’s just learning how,
To love you without you now…
I still see you smile, my love,
And I hold it like it’s enough.
[Outro – finger-snaps fade + guitar tail]
Mm…
Still see you…
Yeah…
