[Intro – chopped vocal sample] (Here without you… you… you…) (Here without you…) Yeah… Late nights, no sleep… [Verse 1] Static in my headphones, city moving slow Rain against the window like it’s tryna let me know You ain’t in the passenger, silence on the road Used to ride with your feet up, singing off-key to the radio Now it’s just me and the memory loops Replayin’ the laugh when you stole my hoodie in June I said I’d be fine, guess I lied to the truth Cause every little corner of the room got proof I still got your number but I don’t press dial Pride heavy, heart light, been stuck for a while Scrolling through the pictures, forcing a smile But every filtered moment feel distant in style We said forever like it wasn’t a word Now it echo in my chest every time that it hurts You moved on quick, guess that’s how life works But I’m still in the studio writing these verses [Hook] I’m here without you, nights feel longer than before Your voice in the sample, knocking at my door I’m here without you, trying not to lose control But every beat drop remind me what we were I’m here without you, city lights blur blue Every love song sound like it’s about you I’m here without you… But I’m still here without you [Verse 2] I ain’t mad, just reflective Love turned into a lesson, pain turned perspective We were young and electric Now it’s quiet — disconnected You said space was healthy, guess I gave too much Now I’m talking to the moon cause it listens and such Friends say “bro, you’ll find someone better” But better don’t mean the one you wrote letters Remember when we danced in the kitchen at 2? No music playing, just me and you Now the fridge hum louder than my phone ever do And the silence in the house feel heavy and new I’m tryna grow from it Put my soul in the rhythm, let it flow from it Turn heartbreak gold from it If I can’t have love, I’ma make art from it [Hook] I’m here without you, nights feel longer than before Your voice in the sample, knocking at my door I’m here without you, trying not to lose control But every beat drop remind me what we were I’m here without you, city lights blur blue Every love song sound like it’s about you I’m here without you… But I’m still here without you [Bridge – slowed, dreamy flow] Maybe one day we’ll laugh about it Time heals wounds, but it don’t reroute it We were a spark in a dark apartment Now I’m just learning how to live without it (Sample rises — “here without you…” stretched and reversed) [Verse 3] I don’t hate you, I just miss the plan Miss the way your fingers used to fit in my hand Miss the future talks, house by the sand Now I’m building dreams that don’t need a “we” to stand Maybe love ain’t losing, maybe it’s release Maybe letting go the only way to find peace If you ever hear this on the late night breeze Just know I kept it real — no bitterness in me Cause I’m still me, just stronger now Learned how to stand on my own two grounds Still hear your laugh when the beat wind down But I ain’t breaking, I ain’t folding now [Final Hook – layered vocals] I’m here without you, but I’m breathing still Turned the pain into something real I’m here without you, but I found my truth Sometimes losing love mean finding you I’m here without you… Yeah… I’m here without you… (Sample fades… vinyl crackle… reverb tail)
