[Intro]
Yeah
It's cold out here
Colder than it should be
Colder than it ever was with you
[Verse 1]
This world is so cold without you
Whole house quiet, every echo feels loud
Little shoes in the corner like they waitin'
Screenshots of your smile, and I hate it
I replay that last day on a loop
Every "what if" cuttin' straight through the roof
You were laughin', playin', havin' fun, wild run
Now I'm starin' at your bed like "what have I done"
[Chorus]
I'm sorry, little one
I was supposed to see you grow, now the time don't come
All those mile stones that I'll never know
First steps, first dance, and the first packed show
I'm sorry, little one
Every late night story that we'll never get done
This world is so cold without you
So cold without you
[Verse 2]
Used to read you stories late night, half asleep
You'd say "one more" with your blanket on your feet
I was tired, but your eyes had that shine
Now I'd trade my whole life for one page, one line
Got your name on a wall and a stone
But it shoulda been on a jersey, on a phone
Shoulda been school calls, tiny trophies on a shelf
Not me fightin' these shadows and myself
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Why you? why now? questions circle like crows
I still set a place at the table, like you might show
Talk to the air, like you hear what I say
"If you can see me, forgive me today" [whispered vocals]
I keep your picture by the door when I go
Try to walk like a man but inside I'm broke
If love had a weight, it would break this floor
Every beat of my chest just callin' you more
[Chorus]
