Way Too Soon

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
