Where You Used to Be

[Verse 1] There’s a chair you never moved By the window in my room Light still falls the same at noon Like you’re coming home Your coffee cup’s still in the sink I don’t know why I let it be Guess I’m scared if I wash it clean You’re really gone [Pre-Chorus] I don’t say your name out loud But it’s everywhere I turn [Chorus] There’s a space in every memory A quiet where your laugh would be I reach across the empty sheets And feel the cold instead I’m learning how to breathe again In rooms we filled with everything But no matter where I go to sleep There’s always where you used to be [Verse 2] I still drive the long way home Past the street we used to know Every light’s a ghost that glows In the rearview glass Friends all say it takes some time Like healing’s just a straight line But some nights it still feels like It just happened [Pre-Chorus] I don’t say your name out loud But it’s written in the dark [Chorus] There’s a space in every memory A quiet where your laugh would be I reach across the empty sheets And feel the cold instead I’m learning how to breathe again In rooms we filled with everything But no matter where I lay my head There’s always where you used to be [Bridge] Maybe love don’t disappear Maybe it just changes shape Maybe it stays folded up In the things we couldn’t save [Final Chorus] There’s a space in every memory A quiet where your voice would be I close my eyes and almost feel Your heartbeat next to mine I’m trying hard to let you go But some part of me still knows No matter how I set you free There’s always where you used to be
