Verse 1
I didn’t know the silence
Could echo quite this loud
One empty chair beside me
Still feels like a crowded house
We had those lucky moments
Love stitched into the pain
Now your shadow’s in the hallway
But you don’t call my name
Pre-Chorus
Everybody says time heals
But time just moves the clock
And every little memory
Still hits me like a rock
Chorus
You were gone way too soon
Still feel you in the room
Like smoke hanging in the air
Like a song that’s still there
I keep reaching through the dark
For the pieces of my heart
But the night keeps whispering your tune
You were gone… way too soon
Verse 2
Grief has strange directions
Some days it barely breathes
Other days it floods the whole house
And brings me to my knees
Photographs and faded voices
Still scattered on the floor
Like broken little reminders
Of what we were before
Pre-Chorus
They say someday I’ll smile again
Like nothing here has changed
But healing feels like learning how
To live inside the rain
Chorus
You were gone way too soon
Still feel you in the room
Like shadows dancing on the walls
Like your footsteps down the hall
I keep talking to the dark
Trying to outrun the hurt
But the silence sings your tune
You were gone… way too soon
Bridge
Maybe love don’t leave us
Maybe it just changes form
Maybe every memory
Is a light left burning on
And though the truth is heavy
And belief can fall apart
I still find your fingerprints
Pressed against my heart
Final Chorus
You were gone way too soon
But your light still fills the room
And every tear, every scar
Reminds me where you are
I’ll keep carrying your name
Through the sunshine and the rain
Till the day this soul meets you
You were loved… way too soo
