Verse 1 The house is quiet in the early light Your shadow lingers where you used to be I talk to air like you might answer back Learning how to breathe through missing you in me Pre-Chorus They say time heals, but it doesn’t erase It just teaches my heart how to carry the weight Chorus I thought I lost you to the hands of time But love don’t vanish, it just learns to sleep You’re in the songs I hum when I can’t cry In every scar that still remembers how to feel I’m learning how to live without goodbye ‘Cause you’re still here with me Verse 2 I packed away the things I couldn’t touch Left some corners frozen in your name Some days I’m strong, some days I’m breaking down Grief comes in waves, but I still stand in the rain Pre-Chorus I don’t pretend that the pain’s not real I just refuse to let it be all I feel Chorus I thought I lost you to the hands of time But love don’t vanish, it just learns to sleep You’re in the songs I hum when I can’t cry In every scar that still remembers how to feel I’m learning how to live without goodbye ‘Cause you’re still here with me Bridge Maybe healing isn’t letting go Maybe it’s holding on a different way Letting the memories soften the blow And trusting the dark will open to day (soft instrumental breath) Final Chorus I won’t erase you to survive the pain I’ll let your love become the strength in me Every step forward carries your name In the quiet courage I’m learning to keep I’m not alone, even on my worst days You’re still here with me Outro So if I’m quiet, don’t mistake it for gone I’m just learning how to carry you on
