Lyrics
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
