Don’t Turn It Off

There’s a quiet in this room tonight Like something left but didn’t say goodbye Radio barely catching a line Static… then it hits right on time I was sitting where you used to lean Same old couch, same worn-out scene There’s a glass half full by my side Been untouched since you said goodbye Then that song cuts through the air And suddenly you’re everywhere Laughing like you never left Like I ain’t lost what we had yet Every word feels too close to home Every line says I’m not alone Don’t turn it off, let it play Even if it drags me back that way Every word, every sound Feels like you’re still around Don’t turn it down, let it stay Even if it breaks me this way When it ends, I already know It ain’t you… but I won’t let go There’s a chair you used to pull Now it’s just sitting there, still Kitchen light hums like before But you don’t walk through that door I hear your voice in every line In every pause between the lines It’s like the walls still hold your trace Like time don’t move in this place I try to breathe, but I just stay Caught somewhere in yesterday Don’t turn it off, let it play Even if it drags me back that way Every word, every sound Feels like you’re still around Don’t turn it down, let it stay Even if it breaks me this way When it ends, I already know It ain’t you… but I won’t let go I don’t reach for you like I did before But I still feel you in every chord And for a moment, you’re right here Then it fades… and disappears Don’t turn it off, let it play Even if it drags me back that way Every word, every sound Feels like you’re still around Don’t turn it down, let it stay Even if it breaks me this way When it ends, I already know It ain’t you… but I won’t let go The song runs out, the silence grows And that’s when it hits me most I don’t need you like before But I still hear you in that song
