Shadow in the doorway

Verse 1

I still hear your footsteps in the hallway

Like you’re coming back but you never do

Coffee’s getting cold on the counter

Guess I’m losing track of time without you

Your jacket’s still hanging where you left it

I keep telling myself I should put it away

But touching it feels like you’re still near me

And I’m scared that letting go means losing yesterday

Pre-Chorus

Every room is louder in the silence

Every memory hits me like a wave

I’d give anything just to rewind it

Back to the night you stayed

Chorus

’Cause I’m holding on to shadows in the doorway

Reaching out for something that I can’t replace

You were sunlight breaking on a dark day

And now there’s only echoes where you used to say my name

I keep seeing us in every mistake I make

But all I have now

Are shadows in the doorway

Verse 2

Friends keep asking how I’m doing

I say “I’m fine,” but I can barely breathe

I pretend I’m learning how to move on

But every road just circles back to you and me

I replay every whispered conversation

Trying to find the moment we went wrong

But even when the walls are closing in now

It’s your heartbeat I hear in every song

Pre-Chorus

Every night I’m drifting through the quiet

Trying not to fall apart again

I’d give anything just to fight it

If it meant you’d hold my hand

Chorus

’Cause I’m holding on to shadows in the doorway

Reaching out for something that I can’t replace

You were sunlight breaking on a dark day

And now there’s only echoes where you used to say my name

I keep seeing us in every mistake I make

But all I have now

Are shadows in the doorway

Bridge

If I could wake up in a world where you’re still here

I’d trade every tear, every sleepless year

But time moves on even when I don’t

And I’m scared of waking up to find

I can’t feel you anymore

Final Chorus

So I’m holding on to shadows in the doorway

Wishing you’d walk through and take the pain away

You were sunlight breaking on a dark day

Now I’m standing in the ruins of the love we couldn’t save

I keep seeing us in every step I take

But all I have now

Are shadows in the doorway
