Hear You Speak

[Intro]
I still hear you  
Even when you’re gone  

[Verse 1]
It’s in the way the night falls quiet  
Right before I try to sleep  
Like something in the silence  
Still remembers how you speak  

Not loud, not clear  
Just enough to stay  
Like words that never left me  
But faded in a way  

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t reach for it  
But it comes anyway  

[Chorus]
I still hear you speak  
Like you never left  
In the pauses in my mind  
In the spaces in my chest  

I still hear you speak  
Even now, sometimes  
Like a voice I used to know  
That I never left behind  

[Verse 2]
I don’t try to hold it  
Don’t chase it when it fades  
But every now and then  
It finds me where I stay  

In the way I say your name  
In the things I almost do  
There’s a part of how I live  
That still sounds like you  

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t fight it anymore  
Like I used to before  

[Chorus]
I still hear you speak  
Like you never left  
In the pauses in my mind  
In the spaces in my chest  

I still hear you speak  
Even now, sometimes  
Like a voice I used to know  
That I never left behind  

[Bridge]
If it disappears one day  
I don’t know what I’ll lose  
Is it you I’m holding onto  
Or just the way you moved  

[Final Chorus]
I still hear you speak  
But it’s softer now  
Like a memory learning  
How to fade somehow  

I still hear you speak  
But I let it be  
Not everything we lose  
Ever really leaves  

[Outro]
I still hear you  
Just differently
