Prompt / Lyrics
**Verse 1** The room still smells like you Static in the air, I don’t move Your shadow hangs where the light should be I trace the silence, hoping it bleeds I say your name but it falls apart Hits the floor before it hits my heart Every word feels borrowed now Like I’m speaking from someone else’s mouth **Pre-Chorus** I’m scared of what I’ll find If I look you in the eyes Are you here, or just the thought That I can’t outrun tonight? **Chorus** Is it really you Or just a memory I hold too tight? I reach out and fall straight through You fade every time I try If I stay right here Will you finally tell the truth? Or am I alone with the ghost Of someone I once knew? **Verse 2** Your voice still hums in the walls Low and warm, then nothing at all I sleep on the edge of the bed Like I’m waiting for you to come back instead Time moves slow when you’re not real Every second cuts, but I still kneel If this pain is all that’s left Then let it hurt—I’ll take the theft **Pre-Chorus** I’m scared to let you go ‘Cause it’s all I have to hold If I lose this version of you There’s no comfort in the cold **Chorus** Is it really you Or just a dream that won’t release? I say your name like a wound Hoping you’ll bleed back into me If I close my eyes Do you disappear too? Or do I wake up empty Still reaching for you? **Bridge (soft, whispered)** I don’t need answers I don’t need peace I just need to know You existed to me **Breakdown / Heavy Section** I FEEL YOU SLIP EVERY TIME I BREATHE YOU’RE EVERYWHERE BUT YOU’RE NOT WITH ME I SCREAM YOUR NAME IN A SILENT ROOM IF THIS IS LOVE IT’S A SLOW DEATH TOO **Final Chorus (stripped back)** Is it really you Standing right in front of me? Or just the shape of what we were Burned into my memory If I let this die Will I finally be free? Or will I always chase the space Where you used to be? **Outro** I stay Just in case You come back The same ---
