I reach for you
in empty rooms
Your absence still hurts
The room is quiet but my mind is loud
Memories whisper when lights go out
I close my eyes but you're still there
And every breath an empty air I hear your laugh in every quiet sound
See your face when the lights go down
I try to fill the space you left behind
But nothing eases this aching mind
I thought time could heal the pain
I thought I'd learn to live again
But every step I take alone
Reminds me how far you've gone
Your absence still hurts
Like a wound that never healed
I carry all the words we left unsaid
All the love that was concealed I try to smile,
try to move on
But nights bring tears that river The truth is cold and hard
Your absence still hurts I walk past places we used to go
Every corner whispers your name I catch myself wanting to call
But the line is dead, it's not the same
You moved on without looking back
Left me with memories that are tattered
I'm learning slowly how to survive
But your absence still feels alive
If love could speak through the silence
It would beg you to
stay But life moves on without answers
And I'm left in shades of grey Your absence still hurts
Even when the days are bright I feel the ghost of your love
Every lonely night I'll hear a lull
to breathe again
