[Intro]
Soft rain on the window, a clock that forgets to move
I count the empty rooms where your laughter used to bloom
[Verse 1]
I wore my bravado like a crown I couldn’t hold
Spoke of futures bright, but never cared to learn to fold
The echoes in the hallway tell me what I left behind
A hollow vow of greatness, now I’m chasing what I mined
[Pre-Chorus]
You said you’d go, you said you’d rise and roam
I misread the distance, thought I’d never be alone
[Chorus]
You will miss me, I hear you crystal clear
But I’m the one who’s grieving what I think I’ll fear
Your name in the doorway, a shadow on the floor
Missed chances flutter down like leaves I can’t ignore
[Verse 2]
Arrogance is a mirror with a crack I could not mend
I carved replies to every question that wasn’t the end
Now the room grows quiet, the heartbeat fades to grey
I learned too late the worth of those I sent away
[Pre-Chorus]
You said you’d go, you said you’d rise and roam
I misread the distance, thought I’d never be alone
[Chorus]
You will miss me, I hear you crystal clear
But I’m the one who’s grieving what I think I’ll fear
Your name in the doorway, a shadow on the floor
Missed chances flutter down like leaves I can’t ignore
[Bridge]
If words could wake a heart, I’d call and make it right
But time keeps its vigil, and I surrender to the night
[Chorus]
You will miss me, I hear you crystal clear
Now I’m the echo that your memory holds dear
Your name in the doorway, a shadow on the floor
Missed chances flutter down like leaves I can’t ignore
[Outro]
So I walk away lighter a little, scarred and old
Learning love’s the treasure that can’t be bought or sold
"You will miss me"—the truth I’ve learned to bear
