Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 The house is loud when it’s quiet at night Every clock keeps shouting that you’re not by my side Your jacket’s still hanging by the door I swear it smells like you, but it hurts even more I replay the last words I never said Like they’re written in permanent ink in my head If I’d known that goodbye was the end I would’ve held on longer, my friend Pre-Chorus They say time heals everything But time just taught me how to pretend Chorus I’m still here without you Breathing but barely alive The world didn’t stop when you left me But mine did that night I smile in pictures, I laugh when I’m supposed to But every road still leads back to you I’m still here without you Verse 2 Your name still lights up my phone in my dreams Then I wake up to silence and broken routines Everyone says, “You’ll be stronger one day” But they don’t feel the weight of what didn’t stay I talk to your memory like it’s a prayer Hopin’ somehow you’re still out there If heaven’s real, do you hear my voice? Or was losing you never a choice? Pre-Chorus I’d trade all the years ahead For one more night we never had Chorus I’m still here without you Breathing but barely alive The world didn’t stop when you left me But mine did that night I smile in pictures, I laugh when I’m supposed to But every road still leads back to you I’m still here without you Bridge If love could bring you back You’d be standing in my arms If tears could build a ladder I’d climb straight through the dark They say you’re in a better place But I’m stuck where you were Final Chorus (Big / Emotional) I’m still here without you Trying to survive Living a life you’ll never see But carrying you inside If heaven’s closer than it feels to Then save me a place when this is through ‘Cause I’m still here without you Outro I’ll keep your name in my heart Even if it breaks me apart
