Verse 1
Your jacket’s on the chair where you used to breathe,
Coffee in the cup but it’s cold like me,
I talk to your shadow on the wall at night,
’Cause silence sounds too much like goodbye.
Your name still lives in my phone,
But I’m scared to hear your voice,
If I call, I’ll remember
That you had a choice… and you chose.
Pre-Chorus
I keep replaying the moment you left,
Like maybe this time I’ll say something different,
But the past doesn’t answer, it just stares,
And reminds me you’re not really there.
Chorus
You’re gone, but you’re still in the room,
In the bed, in the air, in the way I move,
Every laugh feels borrowed from pain,
Every song still says your name.
I’m learning how to breathe in a world that changed,
You walked out, but you never moved,
You’re gone… but you’re still in the room.
Verse 2
I wear your hoodie just to feel okay,
Smells like you, so I don’t wash away the days,
Friends say “time will heal the scars”,
But they never loved you the way I was.
I smile in pictures, I lie in texts,
Say I’m fine but I’m a beautiful mess,
I keep pretending I’ve moved along,
But I still write you into every song.
Pre-Chorus 2
I delete your photos, then dig them back,
Like grief is a road I don’t want to map,
I hate myself for missing you,
But I hate you more for making it true.
Chorus (Repeat)
You’re gone, but you’re still in the room…
In my dreams, in my fears, in everything I do,
Even love feels dangerous now,
’Cause I learned how it breaks somehow,
I’m surviving, but I’m not the same,
You walked out, but you never moved,
You’re gone… but you’re still in the room.
Bridge (Spoken / Soft)
If loving you was a mistake,
Then why does letting go feel worse?
I’d rather live with the ache
Than forget how your heartbeat worked.
Final Chorus (Stripped then Big)
You’re gone, but you’re still in the room,
In my past, in my plans, in my truth,
I don’t hate you… I just miss who I was,
Before your goodbye taught me what love was.
Outro
One day I’ll stop setting a place for two,
