Your cup still sits on the window sill
Half-full, untouched — it's waiting still
The record skips where we last danced
But you don't come back, not by chance
I talk to the ghost of your goodbye
In every room where we used to lie
It's not as it was — not even close
We breathe the same air, but it’s mostly ghosts
You said forever in the pouring rain
Now your name just echoes down the drain
It's not as it was… and maybe it won't be again
You left your playlist on my drive
I play it late just to feel alive
Your hoodie’s still on my chair
And silence hangs like you're still there
The lights are on but dimmed to blue
I wonder if you feel it too
It's not as it was — we both can tell
We're smiling through this paper shell
Our favorite jokes, they sound so dry
I hear your laugh, then realize why
It's not as it was… and maybe it never will be
Time didn’t break us, not in one blow
It faded us slow, like melting snow
I still remember the weight of your hand
In places you no longer stand
It's not as it was — and that’s the truth
I lost your love somewhere in youth
If I could turn and pull you near
Would we still want to be here?
It's not as it was… and maybe that’s the point
It’s not as it was...
But sometimes I still wait for your name
It’s not as it was...
But a part of me still loves you like it is
