“Same Room”

(Verse 1)

There’s a shadow in the doorway

Looks a little bit like us

Coffee stains and quiet Fridays

Memories collecting dust

I still turn to tell you something

Like your name still fits my tongue

Then the silence taps my shoulder

Says, “that version’s come undone”

(Pre-Chorus)

And I hate how I still know

The rhythm of your laugh

Like my heart kept every echo

Even after all the cracks

(Chorus)

It’s bittersweet, you know?

Missing you but thanking heaven

That I held you close before

Everything got rearranged

Now your ghost walks through my ordinary

In the songs and in the rain

I don’t want you back completely

But I don’t want you erased

So I carry both—

The love and the leaving

In the same room

(Verse 2)

There are days I barely notice

How your absence settles in

Then somebody says your favorite phrase

And there you are again

Not enough to make me shatter

Not enough to let me heal

Just a quiet kind of aching

Only memories can feel

(Bridge)

Maybe some people stay

Without staying

Maybe some hearts don’t leave

They just change shape

And maybe moving on

Is learning how to smile

While grieving

(Final Chorus)

It’s bittersweet, I know

Like a sunset on an old street

Beautiful but almost gone

Still glowing when it shouldn’t be

And I swear I’ve learned to live without you

But some nights my chest disagrees

So I leave the door unlocked

For the pieces you still keep in me

Yeah, I carry both—

The love and the leaving

In the same room.
