Verse 1
I still hear your laugh in the quiet
Like a ghost that never left the room
Your coffee cup still haunts the counter
And I still flinch when I smell your perfume
Your sweaterās hanging by the doorway
Like itās waiting for your arms again
But time moves on without permission
And Iām stuck whispering your name
Chorus
You're the echo in the silence, the tear I never cried
The half of every heartbeat that I keep trying to hide
You're the song inside my shadow, the storm I can't outrun
Even in the dark, you're my fading sun
You're goneābut you're never really gone
Verse 2
The photos blur like melting raindrops
On the glass of yesterday
I keep your letters in a box
But I read them when the sky turns gray
I talk to walls, I dream in rewind
And chase your footprints in my mind
I reach for hands that aren't there
But still feel fingers intertwined
Chorus
You're the echo in the silence, the tear I never cried
The half of every heartbeat that I keep trying to hide
You're the song inside my shadow, the storm I can't outrun
Even in the dark, you're my fading sun
You're goneābut you're never really gone
Bridge
If love could rewrite time
Iād turn every āwhat ifā into āstill mineā
But I breathe the ache and wear the pain
Like a second skin that whispers your name
Final Chorus
You're the echo in the silence, the light in every fall
The reason that I stand again when I lose it all
You're the song inside my shadow, the wind beneath the dawn
Even when I'm lost, youāre the fire I'm drawn upon
You're goneābut you're never really gone
