Where You Used To Be

[Intro] [Verse 1] Sunrise paints the windowpane Another day begins again Silence hangs a little heavier now I reach across the empty space Where mornings showed your sleeping face Just a cold reminder anyhow That coffee cup you always used Sits untouched, a ghost confused Your favorite sweater's draped across the chair The air feels thin, the room feels wide Nowhere left for me to hide From this quiet that's beyond compare [Chorus] I miss you more than words can say A constant ache that won't go away Like a melody stuck on repeat Playing softly, bittersweet In every shadow, every sound I hear I keep expecting you to reappear But all I find is emptiness and me Standing right where you used to be [Verse 2] I scroll through photos, faded light Captured moments, b*****g bright Your laughter echoes just beyond my reach I walk the paths we used to tread Whispers fill my heart instead Of conversations that we used to teach The world keeps spinning, fast and loud I move within a silent crowd A stranger now in places we once knew The simplest things bring back the tide A song we loved, the changing tide This ocean of missing pulls me back to you [Chorus] I miss you more than words can say A constant ache that won't go away Like a melody stuck on repeat Playing softly, bittersweet In every shadow, every sound I hear I keep expecting you to reappear But all I find is emptiness and me Standing right where you used to be [Bridge] Does distance fade this shade of blue? Or does time just make it truer? Is there a map to find my way back home? 'Cause home was just the space you filled A warmth that time itself has chilled And now I wander, lost and all alone This phantom limb of my own heart A missing, tearing me apart [Chorus] I miss you more than words can say A constant ache that won't go away Like a melody stuck on repeat Playing softly, bittersweet In every shadow, every sound I hear I keep expecting you to reappear But all I find is emptiness and me Standing right where you used to be [Outro]
