[Verse 1] Your name still lives under my skin Like a shadow that never leaves I keep the lights low on purpose So I don’t have to see what I believe Every night I rewrite the silence Every morning I erase the truth I wear your absence like a second skin And call it something close to proof [Pre-Chorus] I don’t cry loud anymore I just sink a little deeper You taught me how to disappear Without ever leaving the room [Chorus] I’m still here in the dark you left Breathing slow so I don’t break I keep your ghost between my sheets And pretend it’s all I need to take Don’t come back, don’t even call I’m learning how to love the fall This quiet is the only home I have left at all [Verse 2] I used to wait for the sunrise Now I wait for the static in my head Your voice still echoes in the corners Of every word I never said I don’t hate you, I just hate the way You made the emptiness feel warm Now every soft thing feels like danger And every touch feels like a storm [Chorus] I’m still here in the dark you left Breathing slow so I don’t break I keep your ghost between my sheets And pretend it’s all I need to take Don’t come back, don’t even call I’m learning how to love the fall This quiet is the only home I have left at all [Bridge – stripped, intimate, almost spoken] I don’t want saving… I just want the quiet to stay. If I open my eyes too wide… I might remember how to feel again. [Final Chorus – slightly fuller, more emotional] I’m still here in the dark you left Breathing slow so I don’t break I keep your ghost between my sheets And pretend it’s all I need to take Don’t come back… please don’t call I’m finally learning to love the fall This quiet is the only home I have left at all [Outro – fading, whisper] …still here. …still quiet.
