[Verse 1]
Tiny shoes by the door
Still there
Cartoons froze on the screen
Blank stare
Used to dance in the kitchen
Spill juice, then giggle at the mess
Now it's prayers on the pillow
And this weight on my chest
You turned the couch to a spaceship
Made the broom into a sword
Turned a bad day into belly laughs
Like that was your reward
Now the silence in the hallway
Feels louder than a crowd
I talk to your old sweater
Like you might answer somehow
[Chorus]
I’m tryna breathe through a broken heart
Since you went away
Every room feels dark, feels far
I still call your name
You were so small, but you filled this place
More than anyone here
Now I’m lost in the space you left
Chasing little laughs I still hear
[Verse 2]
The way you left us
Still hits me sideways when I blink
One second you were running
Next second I just sink
Questions crowd the ceiling
Why you? Why now? Why this?
I would trade all of my tomorrows
For one more goodnight kiss
Used to fake your crying
Just to steal my phone
Now I’m scrolling through your pictures
In the dark, alone
Friends say “time is healing”
But time just moves, it don't heal fast
It just stretches out the distance
From the last time that we laughed
[Chorus]
I’m tryna breathe through a broken heart
Since you went away
Every room feels dark, feels far
I still call your name
You were so small, but you filled this place
More than anyone here
Now I’m lost in the space you left
Chasing little laughs I still hear
[Bridge]
If there’s a place where the gentle go
I hope they saved you a bed
Hope your smile lights up the corner
Hope you’re painting the sky in red
I’ll keep your jokes in my pocket
Carry your joy when I’m weak
When I have no words for this pain
I’ll use your name when I speak
[Chorus]
I’m tryna breathe through a broken heart
Since you went away
Every room feels dark, feels far
I still call your name
You were so small, but you filled this place
More than anyone here
Now I’m lost in the space you left
Chasing little laughs I still hear
