Lyrics

The room is quiet but my thoughts still ache, The night remembers every choice I make. Your shadow lingers on the fragile air, I close my eyes but still you’re everywhere. The words we buried keep on rising slow, Soft as a whisper I no longer know. A trembling heartbeat in the fading blue, The world is still — but not without you. And I keep waiting in the falling light, For something gentle to make this right. I reach for memories slipping through my hands, Like quiet echoes I can't understand. If you were here… would I still feel this way? Or would the silence finally fade? The dawn is coming but it feels the same, A softer sky still whispers out your name. I trace the patterns where the tears have been, A quiet story on my tired skin. And I keep waiting in the falling light, For something tender to hold me tight. I tried to follow every sign you left, But hearts grow heavy when they’re not kept. If I let go… maybe I’ll find my way, Into a softer, gentler day. Just one more breath… before I turn away. Just one more thought… of you I let fade.
