Verse 1
My body still remembers you
Even when the world pretends it’s through
My arms forgot what they were for
But my heart still waits at the door
The nights are long, the mornings ache
Every breath feels like a mistake
They say, “Your body will heal in time”
But no one asked about my mind
Pre-Chorus
I walk around like I’m still whole
But there’s a silence in my soul
Chorus
I feel empty… so empty inside
An echo where your heartbeat used to lie
My womb feels hollow, cold, and bare
Like love was built and then torn out of there
They don’t see the space you left in me
They don’t feel this quiet grief
I carried you — you were a part of me
Now I’m empty… without my baby
Verse 2
I catch myself holding my breath
Like I’m still protecting life from death
My hands rest where you used to be
Out of habit… out of need
Everyone talks about moving on
But my body knows something’s wrong
It still aches like it’s waiting for you
Like it doesn’t know what else to do
Pre-Chorus
My heart screams what my mouth can’t say
I lost you in every way
Chorus
I feel empty… down to my core
A mother without what she was made for
My womb remembers every dream
Every name, every almost-thing
I don’t just miss you emotionally
I miss you physically
You lived inside my every breath
Now I live with this emptiness
Bridge
They say you were only here a moment
But you changed the shape of my soul
My body learned how to love you
And now it doesn’t know how to let go
If love could fill this space again
I’d pour it in until it ends
But love is what made this hole
And love is what hurts me the most
Break (soft, broken)
I don’t need fixing
I don’t need advice
I just need someone to say
“Of course it hurts — you gave her life.”
Final Chorus
I feel empty… but not because I failed
I’m empty because love prevailed
Because for a moment, I was home
To a soul that I’ll always know
My womb is quiet, my arms are bare
But my love for you is still right there
I may be empty in ways I can’t explain
But you will never leave my name
Outro
So if my body cries when I don’t
If my heart breaks when I’m silent alone
Please remember what this emptiness means
I was a mother… and she lived in me
