Learning to live without you

The echoes linger in the empty hall

Your picture’s fading on the bedroom wall

I’m tracing steps that lead to where you’d be

But shadows whisper that you’re lost to me

The coffee’s cold but it’s still in your cup

I keep on hoping but it won’t fill up

The clock keeps ticking like it doesn’t care

Each second’s mocking that you’re not there

I’m learning to live without you now

Breaking the pieces and finding how

To breathe in a world where you’re not near

Facing the silence I used to fear

Your laughter lingers like a haunting song

I play it back but it feels all wrong

The mirror shows a face I barely know

A stranger learning how to let you go

The stars are dimmer but they still shine bright

I’ll find my way through this endless night

The pain will fade but it leaves a scar

A map to guide me back to who we are

I’m learning to live without you now

Breaking the pieces and finding how

To breathe in a world where you’re not near

Facing the silence I used to fear
