[Verse 1]
Found your sweater on the chair
Still smells like you were there
Your favorite cup and little spoon
The memories of you in every room
You would say I'm stronger than this
Wipe my tears with both your hands
Now I’m staring at the ceiling
Trying hard to understand
[Chorus]
I feel empty in these crowded days
Like I’m walking through a world you never get to see
Every second feels a little strange
‘Cause nobody ever loved the way you loved me
How do I keep going on
Pretending I’m okay
When it’s you I want to call at the end of every day?
My heart is breaking in these quiet ways
But I do
what I promised you to
To be strong like you
[Verse 2]
All your messages I save
Play your voice until it hurts
Hear you telling me you’re proud
Even when I felt the worst
You believed in every dream
Even ones I never spoke
Now I’m talking to the sky
Like it’s answering your phone
[Chorus]
I feel empty in these crowded days
Like I’m walking through a world you never get to see
Every second feels a little strange
‘Cause nobody ever loved the way you loved me
How do I keep going on
Pretending I’m okay
When it’s you I want to call at the end of every day?
My heart is breaking in these quiet ways
But I will do
what I promised you
To be strong like you
[Bridge]
Will it always hurt this sharply?
Will I always reach for you? (oh)
If love is what you left me
I guess this love will pull me through
[Chorus]
I feel empty in these crowded days
But I carry every kindness that you gave to me
Every time I lose my way
I remember how you loved me so completely
I’ll keep going on
Even when I’m not okay
Hear your laughter in the words that I still say
My heart is broken
But I will do
what I promised you
To be strong like you
