VERSE 1
I’ve been sitting in the quiet of this room,
trying not to look at where you stood.
Every shadow feels like it remembers you,
and it hurts more than I ever thought it could.
I keep holding all the things you left behind,
little echoes of a life that used to fit.
People tell me time will wash the pain away—
but time just makes me notice it.
⸻
PRE-CHORUS
And I swear I try to breathe,
but the air won’t carry me.
I swear I try to stand,
but your weight is underneath.
⸻
CHORUS
’Cause I’m still breaking
over something that won’t break for you.
Still aching
for a heart I can’t fix, no matter what I do.
And every night I try to let you go
just a little bit—
but grief is a name that sleeps
inside my chest and never quits.
⸻
POST-CHORUS (soul-cries)
Uhhhh—uhhhh—uhhhhhh—
like I’m falling through the hollow where you used to be…
uhhhh—uhhhh—
every sound a piece of me I can’t set free…
uhhhhh—uhhhhh—uhhhh—
voice cracking like it’s breaking on your name…
uhhhh—uhhhh—
God, it hurts to miss you still the same…
⸻
VERSE 2
I’ve been walking through the days like they’re a blur,
with your laughter tangled in my bones.
Every memory cuts a little deeper now,
every silence feels like being thrown.
I keep talking to the walls like they can hear,
like they’d answer if you never will.
And I hate that losing you was one moment—
but learning how to live without you
is endless still.
⸻
PRE-CHORUS 2
And I swear I try to heal,
but the wound won’t close for me.
I swear I try to sleep,
but your ghost keeps pulling me.
⸻
CHORUS (bigger, heavier)
’Cause I’m still breaking
over something that won’t break for you.
Still aching
for a heart I can’t fix, no matter what I do.
And every night I try to let you go
just a little bit—
but grief is a name that sleeps
inside my chest and never quits.
⸻
POST-CHORUS 2 (louder, cracked)
UHHHHH—UHHHH—UHHHHHH—
like the sky is falling open in my ribs…
uhhhh—uhhhh—
I keep drowning in the things I can’t forgive…
uhhhhh—uhhhhh—uhhhh—
every cry another tear I never shed…
uhhhh—uhhhh—
every note a place you used to live…
⸻
BRIDGE (leise → explodierend)
If love could save me now,
I’d give it all, I’d scream your name.
But loss is louder than the promise
that you swore would never fade.
(soft “ohhh… ohhh… ohhhh” swelling)
Ohhh…
I’m still reaching where your hands won’t be again…
Ohhh…
trying not to lose the little strength I have left…
⸻
FINAL CHORUS (broken, strained)
’Cause I’m still breaking
over something I can’t get back.
Still aching
for the part of me you took, just like that.
And every night I try to let you go
just a little bit—
but grief is a home I never chose,
and I’m still learning how to live in it.
⸻
FINAL POST-CHORUS (last cry, fading)
Uhhhh—uhhhh—uhhhhhhh…
like a voice against an empty room…
uhhhh…
I still miss you…
uhhhhh…
and it hurts the way it bloomed.
JOREN
