Verse 1
The room is quieter now, but my chest isn't.
I carry your name like a fading bruise.
No bleeding, still hurting.
I thought time would wash you away.
But you're still here in every silent corner I avoid.
Pre-Chorus
Every echo sounds like goodbye.
Every breath reminds me why.
Some things leave without a sound,
but never really leave.
Chorus
I keep the light on, though your side is dark.
I leave the key where you left yours.
No footsteps coming back, still I listen for them.
Not hope, not heartbreak, something in between.
I keep the light on, even when you don't return.
Verse 2
I still talk to your ghost.
Some days you answer, some days you don't.
The mirror knows my tired eyes
but never tells me how to heal.
I'm learning how to miss you
without asking you to stay.
Bridge
Maybe love doesn't disappear,
maybe it just changes shape
into quiet nights and empty frames.
I stopped chasing yesterday,
but I still carry its weight.
Final Chorus
I keep the light on, though your side is dark.
The silence knows us by our names.
No footsteps coming back,
still I hear them in the rain.
Not hope, not heartbreak,
just the space you left behind.
I'll keep the light on
until my heart forgets the way.
Outro
One day the light will fade,
not because I stopped loving you,
but because I finally found the sunrise without you.
