Love Remains - Stll where You Left Me

© 2026 Daniel Claessens [Verse 1] I wake up in the silence you left behind Your shadow still lives on my walls I tell myself I’m over the fall But every night, I still hear your call I learned how to breathe without your name How to smile when nothing feels right But some wounds don’t fade with time They just learn how to hide [Pre-Chorus] I built my strength from broken things From everything I couldn’t save I’m standing now, but part of me Is still lying in that place [Chorus] I’m still where you left me Frozen in your goodbye Trying to move on But I’m losing the fight I scream in the quiet So no one knows the truth I survived the pain But I never escaped you [Verse 2] I wear my scars like armor now Let them shine in the dark They remind me who I was And how you tore me apart I don’t need your forgiveness I don’t need your return But tell me why your absence Still feels like it burns [Pre-Chorus] I gathered pieces of my soul From floors I couldn’t stand I look so whole to everyone But they don’t understand [Chorus] I’m still where you left me Frozen in your goodbye Trying to move on But I’m losing the fight I scream in the quiet So no one knows the truth I survived the pain But I never escaped you [Bridge | stripped, intimate] If loving you was my mistake Then loneliness is my reward I learned the cost of giving all And bleeding silently for more [Build | rising] I won’t beg for your shadow I won’t crawl through the past But even strong hearts remember What they weren’t meant to last [Final Chorus | full] I was where you left me But I’m learning to breathe I carry the scars But they don’t carry me You don’t own my silence You don’t live in my veins I survived the night And I’m standing in the pain [Outro] Still where you left me… But not the same
