Intro

Mm

Verse 1

Three AM, the TV glows

Lighting up a room that's getting old

Your coffee cup's still by the sink

I tell myself not to think

I walk circles through the hall

Hear your name in nothing at all

Every shadow knows your shape

Every night, I make the same mistake

Pre-Chorus

I close my eyes, you're next to me

For a second, I still believe

Chorus

I'm talking to the silence like it answers back

Replaying every word, every crack in the past

You disappeared, but somehow never really left

Now I'm holding on to echoes in my chest

And every night I lose the fight again

You come alive inside my head

You're gone, I know, but I can't move on yet

I'm breathing you with every breath that's left

Verse 2

Friends say time will do its thing

But time just taught me how to miss you differently

The city's loud, the streets still move

But nothing feels the way it used to

I see your face in passing cars

In distant lights and crowded bars

And for a moment, there you are

Then reality goes dark

Pre-Chorus

I reach for you without a sound

And feel the empty all around

Chorus

I'm talking to the silence like it answers back

Replaying every word, every crack in the past

You disappeared, but somehow never really left

Now I'm holding on to echoes in my chest

And every night I lose the fight again

You come alive inside my head

You're gone, I know, but I can't move on yet

I'm breathing you with every breath that's left

Bridge

Maybe healing isn't letting go

Maybe it's learning how to carry ghosts

Maybe one day when your memory calls

It won't hurt me at all

Final Chorus

I'm talking to the silence, but it don't reply

Still I leave a space for you on my side

You disappeared, but somehow never really left

You're written in the rhythm of my steps

And every night I lose the fight again

You come alive inside my head

You're gone, I know, but I can't move on yet

I'm breathing you with every breath that's left

With every breath that's left
