Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Coffee cup Still on his shelf Dust in the sun Like it knows how it felt Hallway hums But it stays unheard Every room Holding back words No cars pulling up in the driveway No keys on the table at night Just the echo of “remember when?” And the time we can’t rewind [Chorus] This quiet house has loud memories Every wall’s still saying his name All the jokes All the late-night stories Playing back Never quite the same He wouldn't want us living in sorrow He'd say "Smile for me Just in case" So I cry But I still feel him near me And I trust that he’s safe He’s safe [Verse 2] Phone on the counter Face down Still Used to light up Now it never will No sudden calls Just a silent screen So we talk to his picture Like he’s in between Mom sets a plate at the table Then pretends that she forgot Dad walks out to fix something Just to outrun the thoughts [Chorus] This quiet house has loud memories Every wall’s still saying his name All the jokes All the late-night stories Playing back Never quite the same He wouldn't want us living in sorrow He'd say "Smile for me Just in case" So I cry But I still feel him near me And I trust that he’s safe He’s safe [Bridge] I like to think he’s somewhere laughing Louder than he did before Every time we start to falter He’s the wind behind the door [Chorus] This quiet house has loud memories Every wall’s still saying his name All the photos All the faded letters Hold the pieces that remain He wouldn't want us drowning in sorrow He'd say "Love each other Give grace" So we grieve But we lean on each other And we trust that he’s safe Yeah We trust that he’s safe He’s safe

Sparse piano ballad with male vocals; intimate close-mic verses, soft ambient pad underneath. Chorus blooms with warm strings and subtle choir-like backing, then pulls back to near-silence on the last line. Gentle swells and long reverb tails mirror waves of grief and comfort., sad
