Verse 1
You left, and the crib got a little too quiet
Funny how peace and pain move close, they just disguise it
Your side of the bed untouched, I kept it sacred
Like if I made one move, then maybe we wouldn’t make it
Kids asking questions I ain’t really wanna answer
Had to play strong, whole time dancing with the pressure
Funny, when you gone, love turn into labor
I was carrying us both, that’s a dangerous favor
Late nights, kitchen light, me and my thoughts
Whiskey on the counter, tryna measure what it cost
I learned real quick, distance ain’t space
It’s seeing your place and still missing your face
I had your hoodie hanging off the chair like a memory
Crazy how absence turn love into therapy
Used to think time heals, now I know better
Time just make the truth read a little clearer
Hook
You was gone too long, I was holding on
Trying not to break what we built this strong
House still full, but it felt half-empty
Love still there, but it wasn’t that simple
I was learning you from a distance
Finding faith in the space that you missing
And if love real, it survive all the tension
Guess that’s why I’m still here with it
Verse 2
I ain’t call every time that it crossed my mind
That’s growth… or pride, it’s a thin line
You know me, I don’t fold, I adjust
Turned pain into patience, had to sit with us
It’s funny how a king still sleep with ghosts
Got the crown, but alone when it matter most
Everybody see the wins, never see the wear
Like champagne tears, yeah the hurt still there
And when you came back, it was different timing
Same love, but the mileage changed the mileage
Guess distance put miles on the spirit too
But what we survived, most don’t make it through
I was ten toes, even on bad ground
Had to lose your presence just to know what I found
Hook
You was gone too long, I was holding on
Trying not to break what we built this strong
House still full, but it felt half-empty
Love still there, but it wasn’t that simple
I was learning you from a distance
Finding faith in the space that you missing
And if love real, it survive all the tension
Guess that’s why I’m still here with it
