[Intro] [Verse 1] The coffee's cold, the sky's gone black, I sit alone, but still feel you at my back. Your coat still hangs on the empty chair, I reach for your hand, but you're not there. The city burns in colors I can't name, Like echoes of your soul still calling my name. The silence screams where your laughter used to play— Since you’ve been gone, it’s never been day. [Chorus] Since you’ve been gone, I’m lost in the haze, Wandering through these haunted days. You were the flame in my darkest storm, Now the fire’s out, and I can’t stay warm. I still see you in the break of dawn... Since you’ve been gone. [Verse 2] Your plate's untouched, your juice still glows, Like a memory framed in a neon afterglow. Every meal, every laugh, every song we knew— Feels like the world’s been paused on you. I wear your coat just to feel the weight, Pretend you’re near, but it’s too late. Your shadow walks through the city's glow— A ghost of love I can't let go. [Chorus] Since you’ve been gone, I’m lost in the haze, Wandering through these haunted days. You were the flame in my darkest storm, Now the fire’s out, and I can’t stay warm. I still see you in the break of dawn... Since you’ve been gone. [Bridge: (Guitar solo, emotional rise)] If love is light, then mine’s gone blind, But I'd give my soul to rewind time. You’re more than memory, more than air— You were my reason to be anywhere. [Final Chorus] Since you’ve been gone, I’m not the same, Just ashes walking through your flame. I still talk to the night like you might hear, Still save your place, still fight the fear. And I’ll keep singing your silent song... Since you’ve been gone.
