[Intro – vinyl crackle, distant synth wash]
Mm…
Yeah…
Still feels close.
[Verse 1 – low, fragile]
Your sweater’s still folded in my room,
Smells like late nights and afternoons.
I tell myself it’s just a thing,
But everything still points to you.
I learned your habits like my own,
The way you laughed when you were nervous.
Even now when I’m alone,
My heart still speaks you fluent.
[Pre-Chorus – soft lift, airy echoes]
We said we’d be better apart,
But I keep you here in pieces of my heart.
[Chorus – aching, melodic]
If loving you means letting go,
Then why does it still feel like home?
I’m smiling while I’m breaking slow,
Holding on, but moving on.
You’re the part I can’t replace,
The sweetest ache I still embrace.
I don’t regret a single start—
Just wish I knew how to leave your heart.
[Post-Chorus – echo hums]
Mm…
Yeah…
[Verse 2 – reflective, warm sadness]
I see your name and I don’t type,
I let it pass like passing light.
You look happier from far away,
And I don’t wanna be the weight.
You taught me how to love with grace,
How to stay soft in a harder place.
Even if I’m not the one,
I’m glad I was the one who stayed.
[Pre-Chorus – gentle build]
We promised truth, not fairy tales,
Still hurts when real love fails.
[Chorus – fuller, emotional]
If loving you means letting go,
Then why does it still feel like home?
I’m smiling while I’m breaking slow,
Holding on, but moving on.
You’re the part I can’t replace,
The sweetest ache I still embrace.
I don’t regret a single start—
Just wish I knew how to leave your heart.
[Bridge – stripped beat, echoing lines]
Maybe in another time,
We don’t run, we don’t hide.
Maybe then the stars align,
And love don’t hurt to feel alive.
[Final Chorus – quiet resolve]
If loving you means letting go,
I’ll carry you, just not hold.
Some loves don’t fade, they just transform,
Into memories we keep warm.
You’ll always have a piece of me,
In every song, in every key.
Bittersweet, but honest too—
I loved you right, even when we knew.
[Outro – fading pads, soft breath]
Mm…
Goodbye…
Softly.
