[Intro]
Silent room, a breath held tight
Echoes breathe in shaded light
I keep a smile like a shoreline key
Where you stood, forever near to me
[Verse 1]
You left a shadow over the door
But your laughter lingers on the floor
I hide my hurt beneath a smile so bright
That speaks your name when I close my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
If time could tell what hearts won’t say
I’d tell you still, in a different way
[Chorus]
I keep nothing from you but your smile, dear
A quiet map of where you used to be here
If love is memory, let this light stay
Guiding me softly through the gray
[Verse 2]
The photos fade, but your light remains
I walk these rooms with your gentle refrains
I won’t show the ache, I’ll guard it well
With the smile you gave me, I can tell
[Pre-Chorus]
That even apart, you’re not really far
You’re a melody under every scar
[Chorus]
I keep nothing from you but your smile, dear
A quiet map of where you used to be here
If love is memory, let this light stay
Guiding me softly through the gray
[Bridge]
Maybe someday the doors will open wide
And I’ll hear your laugh, I’ll feel you beside
Until that day, I’ll wear this glow
A beacon where your warm breath used to flow
[Chorus]
I keep nothing from you but your smile, dear
A quiet map of where you used to be here
If love is memory, let this light stay
Guiding me softly through the gray
[Outro]
So I breathe your smile back into the night
Holding you close in the absence of light
