Gone but not Forgotten

Verse 1

I still set a place at the table sometimes

Still see your smile in the back of my mind

The silence is heavy, the days move so slow

Since you’ve been gone, I’ve not let you go

Pre-Chorus

Every memory’s a ghost with your name on its breath

And the ache in my chest is all that I have left

Chorus

But I love you too much to ever let go

Even if it breaks me, even if I know

That heaven is holding what I can't touch

And missing you hurts, but it’s part of love

You're not gone where love still lives

In my heart you will always exist

Verse 2

Sometimes I laugh, then I crumble inside

Because joy and grief, they both get to ride

The soul doesn’t heal on a schedule or clock

It just learns how to carry the pieces we lost

Pre-Chorus

So I write you these verses like letters unsent

You're gone from this world but not from my chest

Chorus

Cause I love you too much to ever let go

Even if it breaks me, even if I know

That heaven is holding what I can't touch

And missing you hurts, but it’s part of love

You're not gone where love still lives

In my heart you will always exist

Verse 3

The river of time can only tell

Why love remains and sorrow dwells

I know you're in heaven, safe and well

But the silence you left still feels like hell

Bridge

If love is a river, then I’ll be the shore

Always right here, forever yours

I’ll speak your name like a sacred hymn

Until I see your face again

Final Chorus

Cause I love you too much to ever let go

Even if it breaks me, even if I know

That heaven is holding what I can't touch

And missing you hurts, but it’s part of love

You're not gone where love still lives

In my heart you will always exist
