I’m Not the Same” — Verse 1 You were the steady in my shaking, The voice that pulled me from the dark, A warmth that held my breaking When the world came down too hard. We needed more time, more years I could lean on you, More mornings where your presence Made the heavy feel less true.Pre‑Chorus And I swear the sky still listens where your footsteps used to fall, Now the thunder hits like memories I can’t outrun at all.Chorus Take this ache, take this hollow carved inside my chest, Take the way the nights get longer Since you took your final rest. You were home, you were shelter, you were every part of me — And I’m walking through the wreckage Of who I used to be. I’m not the same… Since you’re not here with me.Verse 2 You held me through the hard days, Your hand steady on my spine, A quiet kind of courage That said, “You’re safe, you’re mine.” Now I’m touching every memory like a door you left behind, Trying to feel your presence In the spaces you resigned.Pre‑Chorus If love was a sky, you were the calm before the rain, Now I’m learning how to breathe Inside a world that feels insane.Chorus Take this ache, take this hollow carved inside my chest, Take the way the nights get longer Since you took your final rest. You were home, you were shelter, you were every part of me — And I’m walking through the wreckage Of who I used to be. I’m not the same… Since you’re not here with me.Bridge If I could hold you one more moment, I’d rest my forehead against yours, Feel your heartbeat steady near me Like it used to calm my storms. But time won’t bend for longing, And the truth won’t change its mind, So I carry what you taught me Through the ache you left behind.Final Chorus Take this ache, take this hollow carved inside my chest, Take the way the nights get longer Since you took your final rest. You were home, you were shelter, you were every part of me — And I’m walking through the wreckage Of who I used to be. I’m not the same… And I’ll never be.
