[Verse 1]
I wake reaching for a ghost in the dark,
Half expecting your voice, half expecting a spark.
But the other side’s cold, and the sheets don’t move,
Just a hollow little space where I once found you.
Your pictures stare back like they know what I lost,
Every memory burns, every second costs.
I walk through these halls with my head hanging low,
Past the places we laughed, past what we called home.
Now the clock sounds louder, every tick like a threat,
Counting down moments I can’t get back.
They say time heals wounds, but I’m starting to doubt,
‘Cause the longer it passes, the more you fade out.
They say “move on,” like it’s easy to do,
But how do you move forward when forward meant you?
[Chorus]
I’m drowning in the silence you left behind,
With a storm in my chest and your name on my mind.
Every road I take somehow leads back to you,
Sunrise feels wrong, every night cuts through.
I’m surrounded by people, but I’m still alone,
Got a heart full of echoes in this empty home.
If love is a fire, then I’m buried in smoke,
Still breathing your memory, barely afloat.
You took a piece of me when you walked away,
And I don’t know who I am in the world you left today.
[Verse 2]
I deleted your number, but I know it by heart,
Like the mind keeps the pieces when the world’s torn apart.
I hear our old song and I freeze where I stand,
Like yesterday reached out and grabbed my hand.
There’s a jacket you left hanging over that chair,
I know it’s just fabric, but I swear you’re still there.
I laugh with my friends, but the laughter feels fake,
Like I’m playing a role just to get through the day.
Grief ain’t a wave that just crashes then dies,
It’s an ocean that follows beneath clear skies.
Loneliness isn’t the absence of sound,
It’s having a million words with no one around.
[Bridge]
Where do broken hearts go?
Do memories soften, or sharpen with years?
Does the soul ever sleep when it’s haunted by tears?
I’d trade every tomorrow for one yesterday,
One more conversation, one more word you could say.
But the universe doesn’t bargain, and death doesn’t bend,
So I’m left with the love and the loss at the end.
[Final Chorus]
I’m drowning in the silence you left behind,
With a storm in my chest and your name on my mind.
Every road I take somehow leads back to you,
Sunrise feels wrong, every night cuts through.
I’m surrounded by people, but I’m still alone,
Got a heart full of echoes in this empty home.
If love is a fire, then I’m buried in smoke,
Still breathing your memory, barely afloat.
You took a piece of me when you walked away,
And I carry that absence through every damn day.
[Outro]
Maybe someday I’ll smile when I think of your face,
Maybe someday the ache won’t consume every space.
But tonight there’s just silence where your heartbeat used to be…
Sometimes losing someone means losing
the version of yourself that only existed when they were here.
