Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 It’s too hard, way too soon The hallway still smells like your perfume I turned the picture frame face down But I still see you when I look around Your coffee cup is in the sink I haven’t washed it — I can’t think If I erase you piece by piece Does that mean I get some peace? ⸻ Pre-Chorus I hold my breath when someone says your name Like somehow that will stop the pain But silence only makes it loud And I’m so tired of being proud ⸻ Chorus It’s too hard, way too soon Your shadow stretches through this room Every step I try to take Still circles back to you I’m smiling so they think I’m fine But I’m breaking all the time I don’t know who I am without The love we left behind I’m still here In this empty space ⸻ Verse 2 I scroll back to October nights Where everything still felt alright We didn’t know we’d lose the light We just held on a little tight You said forever like a promise Now forever feels dishonest And I replay your last “goodbye” Like maybe I misheard it ⸻ Pre-Chorus I keep the door unlocked at night Like you might change your mind I know you won’t But hope is cruel It never knows when to die ⸻ Chorus (Bigger, but not loud — emotional lift) It’s too hard, way too soon The air still tastes like you Every little thing I do Is haunted by the truth I tried to pack your things away But I just end up in the hallway Sitting on the floor again With memories I can’t escape I’m still here In this empty space ⸻ Bridge (This is where people cry) I thought I’d hate you by now Thought anger would be easier But missing you is softer And somehow that’s crueler If love was real Why does it feel Like I’m the only one still here? Did you move on Or do you pause When our song appears? ⸻ Final Chorus (Stripped. Almost no instrumental.) It’s too hard, way too soon And I don’t know what to do With all the love I still have If it can’t belong to you So I fold it into silence Let it ache inside my chest I’m learning how to live with it But I haven’t learned it yet I’m still here In this empty space (instrumental fades. One breath. Piano stops.)
