I still reach for you in the dark… I still reach for you in the dark Like your body’s lying there Half asleep, my hand remembers The shape of you in air There’s a dent still in the pillow There’s your shadow on the wall Funny how the smallest absences Are the loudest of them all They say time will make it lighter They say hearts can learn to bend But nobody tells you How a love like this just… ends You were my always My safe and my home Now the silence answers When I call your phone If love doesn’t vanish Then where did you go? Why does forever Feel this alone? I still love you… Like you never left at all I fold your name inside my chest Like a letter never sent Every room still holds your laughter In the corners where it went I wear my smile in public Like it doesn’t crack or bleed But grief is just love With nowhere left to be They say I’ll meet someone someday And maybe that is true But no one will ever be The way that you were you You were my always My safe and my home Now the silence answers When I call your phone If love doesn’t vanish Then where did you go? Why does forever Feel this alone? I still love you… Like you’re just late coming home Maybe you’re in the quiet Between breath and goodbye Maybe you’re in the echo That won’t let me lie Maybe love doesn’t leave us Maybe it changes its skin Maybe losing your body Doesn’t mean losing you within You were my always My safe and my home Now the silence answers When I call your phone If love is forever Then this can’t be the end Because every part of me Still breaks when I pretend I still love you… And I don’t know how to stop I still reach for you in the dark…
