Too Quiet Now

Intro – soft, distant

It’s quiet now…

Too quiet without you

Verse 1

Your hoodie’s still here on my chair

Like you might walk in, like you still care

I tell myself I’m doing fine

But I’m just lying to pass the time

Your name still lives inside my phone

I read old texts when I’m alone

Every word feels like a ghost

Of everything we almost were

Pre-Chorus

And I try, yeah I try to move on

But every road just leads me back to us

Chorus – emotional

Now there’s an empty side of me

Where your love used to be

I keep reaching out in the dark

But you’re just a memory

And I know I should let go

But I don’t know how to breathe alone

You took more than just your things

You took the best of me

Verse 2

I still sleep on your side of the bed

Like it might bring you back instead

Every night feels way too long

When I’m stuck inside this song

I hear your voice in every sound

In every place we used to go around

I swear I see you in the crowd

But it’s never you somehow

Pre-Chorus

And I hate how I still hold on

To something that’s already gone

Chorus – bigger

Now there’s an empty side of me

Where your love used to be

I keep reaching out in the dark

But you’re just a memory

And I know I should let go

But I don’t know how to breathe alone

You took more than just your things

You took the best of me

Bridge – quiet breakdown

Maybe one day I won’t feel this pain

Maybe I’ll learn how to love again

But right now I’m lost in the past

Trying to hold onto what couldn’t last

Final Chorus – strongest

There’s an empty side of me

Still calling out your name

Even knowing you won’t come back

I’m the one who stays

And I know I should let go

But I don’t know how to be alone

You took more than just your love

You took my home

Outro – fade

It’s quiet now…

Yeah… you’re really gone…

(soft piano continues, vocals fade into reverb, light ambient pads linger and slowly disappear into silence)
