Verse 1: I keep your mug in the cupboard, dust on the rim Still pour two cups, then remember again Your sweater still hangs by the back of the door Like you’ll walk in, like before [Bridge] They say time will heal, but time just hides I carry you with me, I don’t say goodbye [chorus] It’s not the silence that gets me— It’s the quiet where you were The empty space that still hums your name Like a song I barely heard You’re not a ghost, you’re a heartbeat I feel in every word I’m not alone, just missing The quiet where you were [verse]: Your laughter still lives in the cracks in these walls In the corners where shadows still fall The world keeps on spinning, but I’m standing still Trying to feel you, and I always will [Bridge] If love never ends, then you’re still right here In the quiet, in the tears [Repeat Chorus] [breakdown-strings] [Bridge] If love never ends, then you’re still right here In the quiet, in the tears [chorus-soft-choir] It’s not the silence that breaks me— It’s the quiet where you were A thousand moments I wish I could share A life that still prefers You, in the spaces between days Where memory gently stirs I’m not alone, just listening To the quiet where you were It’s not the silence that breaks me— It’s the quiet where you were A thousand moments I wish I could share A life that still prefers You, in the spaces between days Where memory gently stirs I’m not alone, just listening To the quiet where you were
