You always leave before I find the words Like silence somehow gets there first You think you fade without a trace But I still see you in every place You're in the coffee that I still make wrong In every road that feels too long Funny how you never knew How much of me still sounded like you If you could see yourself The way I do... You said losing you has never ruined anyone But you don't know what I became Some people leave with loud goodbyes You left by changing everything You wanted your absence to sting It did, in ways I couldn't say Not every wound makes a sound Some just stay I kept whole conversations You'll never hear me say A hundred almost phone calls and chats That never found their way I thought there'd always be a moment One more ordinary day I didn't know forever Could disappear that way You were the kind of loss that lingered Long after life moved on Not because the world stopped turning But because mine learned your song You never left an empty room You left a different heart I've been carrying pieces of you Since the day we fell apart So if you're somewhere wondering If anyone still feels your light You were never hard to lose But it was hard to say goodbye
