This empty room still holds the echoes of your name
I trace the shadows on the walls but they don't feel the same
I kept the sweater that you left like it could keep me warm
But every time I touch it now it feels like just a ghost
I don't know why I keep pretending you'll come back
When all the signs are pointing at a heartless cry
Still I'm standing here trying not to fall,
missing it all
Cause my quiet heart is breaking
but it's beating just for me
I'm holding on to
pieces of who I used to be
The love you left behind still tears me apart
But I'm learning how to live again with this
quiet heart
I light a candle where your photographs won't stay
Trying to forgive myself for loving you too much
I didn't know the story and how long before I said goodbye
But I'm still learning how to let your memory die
Some nights I swear I hear footsteps down the hall
But it's only wishful thinking trying not to fall
Still I'm standing here trying to let go
Cause my quiet heart is breaking but it's beating just for me
