The Space You Left Behind

[Verse 1] I still walk through these rooms like a guest who stayed too long My thumb traces the seam where your jacket hangs alone on the chair The blue denim feels heavy with every hour that passes me by The apartment breathes slow and I can't tell if it's tired or just empty Every corner has a ghost of a movement you made before Your half-empty coffee cup sits cold beside my phone I keep looking for the steam, for the way you used to lean in Now the silence is the only thing that doesn't ask me questions [Pre-Chorus] The shadows are stretching from east to west across the floor You're not behind that door anymore But every object speaks your name one more time One cup, one coat, and all this room [Chorus] The space you left behind is a map I still read A mattress dip where you lay your head Your jacket on the chair, my coffee turning cold Some things we carry, some stories we leave untold The space you left behind stays wide and deep A monument of what we couldn't keep [Verse 2] The floorboard still gives where you used to pace at night I find your hair tie caught under the table light You were here, you were gone, now it's just this room A slow-motion echo in every empty corner gloom Your worn paperback sits open by the couch with a folded page Dust on the cover where your thumb touched through each stage I could move it, I could pack it, but that would make it real So I leave it there to remind me how my hands can still feel [Bridge] The keys by the door won't turn the same way now The towel in the bath is where you wiped your brow A book on the side table, half-read and spine cracked Every small thing adds up to everything we lacked It's physical proof of a shared life gone still A museum of minutes against my own will [Final Chorus] The space you left behind is a map I still read A mattress dip where you laid your head Your jacket on the chair, that coffee turned cold Some things we carry, some stories we leave untold The space you left behind stays wide and deep A monument of what we couldn't keep [Outro] I still trace the seam where your denim hangs alone Still hear the room breathe when I'm all alone The space you left...
