Stay here without you

The room feels colder than it did before,

Your shadow’s still leaning on my door.

Your name is written in the dust of my mind,

In every “what if”, in every “last time”.

I scroll through photos I should’ve erased,

Try to move on but I’m stuck in your face.

Everyone says I’ll be okay,

But they don’t hear what the silence says.

Pre-Chorus

I’m breathing, yeah, but I’m barely alive,

Just learning how to survive.

Chorus

’Cause I’m still here without you,

Still breaking in the same dark place.

Still here without you,

Still memorizing your face.

The world keeps turning like nothing’s wrong,

But my heart is stuck on our last song.

Yeah, I’m still here without you,

And it hurts in a quiet way.

Verse 2

Your sweater’s hanging on the back of a chair,

Like you might need it when you get back here.

I talk to the walls like they’re listening to me,

Like maybe somehow you still hear me.

I see your smile in passing strangers’ eyes,

In every laugh that almost sounds like mine.

I try to be strong, I try to be brave,

But I still trip over your name.

Pre-Chorus

I’m standing still while the world moves on,

Trying to be fine when I’m not.

Chorus

’Cause I’m still here without you…

(same as above)

Bridge (soft, emotional)

I don’t know how to let you go,

When every part of me still says “don’t”.

They say the pain will fade with time,

But time just teaches me how to hide.

If heaven’s real, and you’re okay,

Please send me a sign you found your way.

Final Chorus (bigger, emotional)

Yeah, I’m still here without you,

Still learning how to breathe alone.

Still here without you,

Trying to turn this house back into a home.

I carry your heart in everything I do,

In every goodbye, in every truth.

Yeah, I’m still here without you,

But I’m holding on for you.

Outro

One day I might be okay again,

But tonight… I just miss you.
