I kept your shirt on the back of the chair
Still smells like words we didn’t dare
You didn’t slam the door, just slipped
But my world still cracked a bit
Tried to play it cool, sip my tea
But the quiet talks back when you leave
Every echo sounds like you
Even when I play something new
Ooh-ooh... hoo...
You’re in the breath I hold
The silence I can't fold
Still stuck in the air I breathe
Ooh-oh-oh...
I try to let you fade
But you're written in the space
Between every sigh in me
I laugh too loud now just to fake
Like joy’s a sound that I can make
But nights fall heavy, lights feel slow
And you’re still everywhere I go
Didn’t need a goodbye scene
You were gone before I blinked
But this room’s still full of you
And I don’t know what to do
Ahh... ooh... hoo...
You're in the breath I keep
In the dreams I lose in sleep
I breathe you out but not away
Ohhh no... ooh...
You never really leave
Just soften into grief
And live in every sigh I say
