Rooms get quieter after you leave
I kept the lights low, in case you came back
Stacked all the letters I never had
Replayed your laughter inside my chest
Searching for echoes where you used to rest
They see heartbreak, think it's just a game
But every crack still whispers your name
We built a world in distant rooms
Held hands across invisible wounds
You were the sky I couldn't outgrow
Now I'm learning to breathe alone
They'll hear a love song, bittersweet
But I hear you breathing between the beats
Your chair's still pulled out from yesterday
I leave it there like a prayer I can't say
Time folds around where you used to stand
And I trace the outlines with trembling hands
They see heartbreak, think it's just a song
But every note knows where you belong
We built a world in distant rooms
Held hands across invisible wounds
You were the sky I couldn't outgrow
Now I'm learning to breathe alone
They'll hear a love song, bittersweet
But I hear you breathing between the beats
We built a home in fleeting sighs
Loved without knowing how to say goodbye
They'll call it heartbreak, call it art
But I call it the echo inside my heart
Still breathing between the beats
Still breathing between the beats
Rooms get quieter...
after you leave
