Verse 1 I never knew that nothing Could feel this heavy in my hands That empty chairs and quiet rooms Could change who I am Your name still lives in conversations Though the years have moved along And sometimes the silence feels louder Than any song Pre-Chorus It's strange how something missing Can take up so much space Chorus This is the weight of absence The gravity of goodbye The way a single missing piece Can change an entire life And though I keep moving forward There's a part of me that stays Carrying the weight Of your absence every day Verse 2 The world didn't stop turning The morning still arrived on time People still laughed in restaurants And life continued outside But inside me something shifted A quiet ache I couldn't name The kind that follows gently And never leaves the same Pre-Chorus Some losses don't get smaller You just grow around them Chorus This is the weight of absence The gravity of goodbye The way a single missing piece Can change an entire life And though I keep moving forward There's a part of me that stays Carrying the weight Of your absence every day Post-Chorus Whoa-oh-oh, still remains Whoa-oh-oh, through the years Bridge I used to think healing meant Putting the burden down But maybe healing means learning How to carry it without breaking Final Chorus This is the weight of absence But it doesn't crush me now It simply walks beside me As I learn to live somehow And though I'll always miss you In ways words can't explain Love taught me how to carry The weight of absence Outro Still here with me The weight of absence
