When you were here by Stone_Ember - Zona

Lyrics

Intro:

Yeah…

I just… I just miss it.

The nights, the laughs, the late drives…

Everything before it fell apart.

⸻

Verse 1:

I wake up and the room feels empty,

sunlight hits where your smile used to be.

Coffee’s cold, the playlist we made

plays in silence like a ghost that won’t leave.

I remember our hands in the steering wheel,

long nights, lonely streets, nothing else real.

Talking about the future, laughing at the small stuff,

the way you leaned on me when life got rough.

Six months gone, but it’s like yesterday,

I notice every detail, everything you’d say.

Your laugh in the car, stories on repeat,

moments we carved that I’ll never delete.

I try to move forward, try to stay sane,

but the memory of you, is a permanent stain.

⸻

Chorus:

I miss the days when we were alive,

the nights we’d talk, the dreams we’d drive.

I miss your hand, your voice, your glow,

I miss the us that I can’t let go.

Even now, with the world between,

you’re the closest thing to everything I’ve seen.

I try to stand, I try to be strong,

but without you, I don’t know where I belong.

⸻

Verse 2:

We built our world in flat-pack pieces,

shared laughter, meals, and quiet releases.

Every corner of our space had your mark,

now it’s just empty rooms and memories dark.

I gave my all, more than I knew I could,

held your hand, felt your love, misunderstood.

I think about the baby, the life we planned,

and I’m left with a void I can’t withstand.

I see people moving on, but I can’t yet,

my heart’s on pause, my mind’s a cassette.

Rewinding our moments, holding each frame,

trying to survive, trying to tame the flame.

I miss you in the morning, I miss you at night,

I miss the wrongs and the rights.

I’m learning to breathe, but it’s slow, it’s hard,

carrying you, like a shard in my heart.

⸻

Bridge:

I can’t run from the grief, can’t hide the pain,

every street reminds me, nothing’s the same.

But I’ll fight through the dark, I’ll rise through the rain,

I’ll honor what we had, even through the strain.

Time won’t erase you, but it’ll teach me to live,

to love myself, to heal, to give.

I’ll carry our memories, let them shape who I am,

even if the world moved on, even if I stand alone again.

⸻

Chorus (Reprise):

I miss the days when we were alive,

the nights we’d talk, the dreams we’d drive.

I miss your hand, your voice, your glow,

I miss the us that I can’t let go.

Even now, with the world between,

you’re the closest thing to everything I’ve seen.

I try to stand, I try to be strong,

but without you, I don’t know where I belong.

⸻

Outro:

Yeah…

I miss the days.

I miss us.

I’ll carry it forward,

even if it’s only in my head…

even if I’m alone.
