Where You Still Remain

[Verse 1] I heard your name on a quiet street Felt my chest fall to my feet Like London rain on a Sunday morn Soft, but it leaves you torn I pass the places we used to be Now they don’t belong to me Every corner holds your ghost But I miss you the most [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to wash you out my veins But love don’t fade, it stains… [Chorus] ‘Cause in my heart, you still remain Like a melody I can’t escape No matter how I numb the pain You echo through every breath I take And I know I should let you go But I don’t know how to change ‘Cause even when you’re far away In my heart… you still remain [Verse 2] Your coat’s still hanging by the door I don’t wear it anymore But I can’t seem to move it on Like if I do, you’re gone I play our song, then skip the end ‘Cause that’s where we start to bend Where your silence cut too deep And I chose not to speak [Pre-Chorus] Now every word I didn’t say Keeps me awake… [Chorus] ‘Cause in my heart, you still remain Like a melody I can’t escape No matter how I numb the pain You echo through every breath I take And I know I should let you go But I don’t know how to change ‘Cause even when you’re far away In my heart… you still remain [Bridge – soft → powerful] Maybe love ain’t meant to last Maybe we just burned too fast But I’d do it all again Even knowing how it ends… (beat builds, piano + strings) ‘Cause losing you still feels like home And I hate that I’m alone… [Final Chorus – big, emotional] Still in my heart, you still remain Like a fire inside the rain No matter how I try to heal You’re the only thing I feel And I know one day I’ll be okay But right now I’m not that brave ‘Cause even when the world has changed In my heart… you still remain [Outro – stripped piano] You still remain… You still remain… In every part of me…
