Static Where You Used To Be

Verse 1

The house still breathes but it feels dead inside

Your shadow’s missing from the other side

Tiffany’s name still carved in my head

Like a bruise that never turns to red

I walk these rooms like a broken tape

Looping moments I can’t escape

Every clock ticks like a loaded sound

Dragging me deeper when no one’s around

Pre-Chorus

They say “she’s gone, just let it fade”

But they don’t feel the mess she made

I know they care, I know they try

But they don’t live in this goodbye

Chorus

I’m screaming at the walls you left behind

Trying to unwrite you from my mind

But you’re every echo, every sign

You’re the fracture running through my spine

And I don’t know how I’m supposed to breathe

When everything I was made of leaves

I’m falling apart in slow release

In the static where you used to be

Verse 2

I skip meals, I lose track of days

Everything tastes like empty space

Friends keep talking, I nod and stare

But I’m not really there, not anywhere

They say “you’ll heal, just give it time”

But time don’t fix what rewires your mind

You weren’t just love, you were my ground

Now I’m just noise without your sound

Pre-Chorus

I know I shouldn’t live like this

Drowning in every memory kiss

But there’s a part of me that still believes

You were the only air I need

Chorus

I’m screaming at the walls you left behind

Trying to unwrite you from my mind

But you’re every echo, every sign

You’re the fracture running through my spine

And I don’t know how I’m supposed to breathe

When everything I was made of leaves

I’m falling apart in slow release

In the static where you used to be

Bridge

And I hear the world say “you’ll be okay”

Like that sentence can wash this away

They don’t see what I lose each night

When love turns into endless fight

Inside my head, inside my chest

Where your memory won’t let me rest

But somewhere under all this pain

A flicker says I’ll live again

Even if I don’t know how

I’m still here in the now

Breakdown

I’m not okay, I won’t pretend

But I can feel this isn’t the end

I’m shattered glass, I’m breaking sound

But I’m still standing on the ground

Final Chorus

I’m screaming at the walls you left behind

Trying to unwrite you from my mind

But you’re every echo, every sign

You’re the fracture running through my spine

And I don’t know how I’m supposed to breathe

When everything I was made of leaves

But I’m still here in the aftermath

In the static of our broken past
