[Intro – soft piano, faint pad swell]
Mm…
I didn’t expect it to feel like this.
[Verse 1 – bare, breathy]
Your sweater’s still folded where you left it,
I never moved it, I just let it sit.
Every sound in here feels louder now,
Even my breathing feels too proud.
I talk to walls like they might know,
What to say when I’m missing you slow.
I thought time would make it lighter somehow,
But it just taught me how.
[Pre-Chorus – fragile lift]
I don’t cry the way I used to,
It comes quiet, out of view.
I still reach before I sleep,
For a hand that isn’t there with me.
[Chorus – restrained, emotional]
I’m learning how to live after you,
How to wake up without holding you.
Every memory stays too close,
Every goodbye still hurts the most.
I don’t hate you, I don’t blame you,
I just don’t know what to do.
I’m not broken, just adjusting through
The silence after you.
[Post-Chorus – soft hums]
Mm…
Yeah…
[Verse 2 – reflective, warmer]
I replay moments I can’t rewind,
Little laughs I didn’t know I’d mind.
You said “take care” like you always do,
Didn’t know that would stay stuck too.
I’ve grown in ways you’ll never see,
Learned how to stand when it’s just me.
Still, some nights feel unfinished,
Like I’m missing a sentence.
[Pre-Chorus – gentler]
I don’t wish things stayed the same,
We were real, not built to fake.
Some love’s meant to pass you through,
Not stay, but change you too.
[Chorus – fuller, aching]
I’m learning how to live after you,
How to smile when the room feels new.
Every habit still calls your name,
Every quiet feels the same.
I don’t hate you, I don’t blame you,
I still want you safe and true.
I’m not broken, just moving through
The space you left me to.
[Bridge – stripped, honest]
If you ever think of me,
I hope it doesn’t hurt too deep.
I hope you’re doing better now,
Even if it’s not with me around.
[Final Chorus – resolved, soft]
I’m learning how to live after you,
Slow steps, nothing I rush into.
You were real, and that’s the truth,
And I’ll always carry part of you.
I don’t need us back again,
I just needed time to mend.
I’ll be okay, I promise you—
I’m learning how to live…
After you.
[Outro – piano fades, breath]
Mm…
Goodnight.
