Hook)
I still hear your voice in the back of my mind
Like a ghost in the silence I can’t leave behind
Every road that I walk got your shadow in frame
I ain’t lost… I’m just missing your name
(Verse 1)
Woke up this morning, felt that weight on my chest
Like the world kept spinning but it skipped all the rest
Your chair still sits where you left it that night
But the house don’t feel like a home without your light
I been talking to walls like you might answer back
Every memory sharp, every silence go black
They say “time heals,” but they don’t understand
How you bury a hero who built you by hand
I remember your laugh, how it filled up the room
Now it echoes too loud in the space of your tomb
Still got the running shoes, still reminds me of you
But the scent fades slow like the love that you gave
(Hook)
I still hear your voice in the back of my mind
Like a ghost in the silence I can’t leave behind
Every road that I walk got your shadow in frame
I ain’t lost… I’m just missing your name
(Verse 2)
I got questions I never got to ask you
Like if you were scared when the sky turned black, too
If you knew how much I needed your advice
Or if you felt the weight when you rolled them dice
I been trying to be what you wanted to see
But I’m lost in the man that I’m trying to be
They say “be strong,” but I’m breaking inside
Got your blood in my veins but I’m losing the fight
Every milestone feels like a cut in disguise
‘Cause I turn to the crowd but don’t see your eyes
No “I’m proud of you, son,” no hand on my back
Just applause in a room where your voice is what I lack
(Bridge)
If heaven got a phone, I’d be calling all night
Just to hear you say “everything gon’ be alright”
I’d trade every breath, every dollar, every day
Just to sit with you once… hear you say my name
(Hook – softer, breaking)
I still hear your voice in the back of my mind
But it’s fading like smoke, like it’s running out of time
Every step that I take feels the weight of the same
I ain’t healed… I’m just missing your name
(Outro)
So I carry you with me in the things that I do
In the man I’m becoming, I’m still chasing you
And if I ever make it… if I rise through the pain
I’ll look up to the sky…
And whisper your name.
