The house gets quiet after midnight
Kids asleep, lights turned low
I still catch myself listening
For footsteps I already know
Your coffee cup’s still by the window
Like you might come back around
Funny how love leaves echoes
Even when there’s no sound
They say time heals everything
But that ain’t been my truth
It just teaches me how to breathe
Missing you
You’re not gone, you just changed places
From my arms to the air I breathe
Every memory, every heartbeat
Feels like you’re still here with me
I carry you in the small things
In the fire that won’t go out
I don’t say goodbye, I just say
I’ll see you around
I learned how to be strong for others
Before I ever learned it for myself
Had to hold the world together
With pieces of someone else
Some nights I talk to the dark
Like you’re sitting on the bed
I swear I hear you answer
In the things you would’ve said
If love’s supposed to let go
Then why does it stay so true
Guess forever just looks different
Without you
You’re not gone, you just changed places
From my arms to the air I breathe
Every memory, every heartbeat
Feels like you’re still here with me
I carry you in the small things
In the fire that won’t go out
I don’t say goodbye, I just say
I’ll see you around
If heaven’s real, I hope you’re laughing
Telling stories I still tell
And if you see me when I stumble
Just know I’m doing as best I can
Loving you didn’t break me
It showed me who I am
You’re not gone, you just changed places
You’re the strength inside my chest
Every step, every hard day
I feel you at my best
I’ll live this life you believed in
Carry light where I can be found
I don’t say goodbye, my love
I just say… I’ll see you around
Yeah, I’ll see you around
