[Intro] You’re still in this room On the chair by the window In the dent in my mattress In the coat I don’t unfold [Verse 1] I keep setting one more place At a table built for two Talk out loud to empty air Like I’m still talking to you Every picture in its frame Tilts a little when I pass All these almost-spoken words Hanging heavy in the glass [Chorus] It’s hard to let you go When every road leads back to then Every quiet Every echo Says your name again Again I’m holding on so close To what I know I can’t control I love you more than you will ever know But it’s hard to let you go [Verse 2] I’ve been learning how to breathe In a house that feels too wide Leaving doors a little cracked Like you just stepped out for a drive Friends keep asking how I’ve been I say “fine” and change the view Truth is every little win Feels like I’m betraying you [Chorus] It’s hard to let you go When every road leads back to then Every quiet Every echo Says your name again Again I’m holding on so close To what I know I can’t control I love you more than you will ever know But it’s hard to let you go [Bridge] Maybe letting go Doesn’t mean I lose you Maybe moving on Is just making room for you In a softer place Where the hurting doesn’t burn so cold Where I can miss your face And still grow old [Chorus] It’s hard to let you go But I feel you walking by my side Every sunrise through the window Every moment I survive I’m learning to hold both All the grief and all the glow I’ll love you everywhere my story goes Even as I let you go [Outro] You’re still in this room Not a shadow But a thread Woven into who I am In the days that lie ahead
