[Verse 1]
I still pour two cups of coffee
Still open the door like you're behind me
Every step feels like a lie
'Cause the world kept going- and you said goodbye
Your jacket's on the back of the chair
I run my hands through empty air
Still hear your voice in morning rain
But it's just the wind- saying your name
[Pre-Chorus]
They say you fade with time
But I can still feel you like a spine
[Chorus]
You're the shape that silence makes
In the middle of the day
You're the pause between my breathing
The colour that won't fade
I try to fill the space you were
But nothing fits quite right
You're gone- but somehow still taking up my life
[Verse 2]
I don't cry the way I thought I would
It's more like sinking when I should
Be learning how to let you go
But grief has teeth, and it won't show
I see you in the simplest things
A song, a scent, the way bells ring
And every time, I come undone
As if I'd forgotten you were gone
[Pre-Chorus]
The world keeps calling me forward
But I'm stitched to your last word
[Chorus]
You're the shape that silence makes
In the corner of the room
You're the ghost of every sentence
That ends too soon
I try to fill the space you were
But nothing fits quite right
You're gone- but still with me every night
[Bridge - whispered/intimate]
Some say time is kind
But I'm still stuck in the "why?"
And no one ever tells you
How to live when love dies
[Final Chorus - soft, stripped down]
You're the shape that silence make
And I carry you each day
Not in pictures or in pages
But in everything I say
I try to move, I try to mend
But you weren't just a chapter-
You were the end
