Story Behind The Song

Sad heartbreaking Pop song about the relationship is over but your still in the room inside my head.

Lyrics

Verse 1
I keep the light on in the kitchen
Like you might walk back in
Not because I think you will
Just because of where I've been

There's a space beside the doorway
That still knows your shape
I don't trip over it anymore
But I don't rearrange

Pre-Chorus
I tell myself I'm moving forward
But some things move too slow
You don't disappear completely
You just stop being close

CHORUS

You're still in the room when I breathe in
Still in the pause before I speak
I don't miss you like I used to
But I miss who I was with you in reach
I've learned to live without the asking
Without the why or when or how
You're not in my life anymore
But you're still around

Verse 2
I've been doing better, honestly
Sleeping through the night
But I still avoid the quiet
When it lasts too long a time

I'm not angry, I'm just careful
With the things I let in
I don't want to lose myself again
Trying not to feel everything

Pre-Chorus
I don't need the story finished
I don't need the truth explained
Some goodbyes don't break you open
They just don't leave the same

CHORUS

You're still in the room when I breathe in
Still in the pause before I speak
I don't miss you like I used to
But I miss who I was with you in reach
I've learned to live without the asking
Without the why or when or how
You're not in my life anymore
But you're still around

Bridge
Maybe healing isn't closure
Maybe it's learning to stay
In a life that keeps unfolding
With some things that don't go away

FINAL CHORUS (QUIET LIFT)

You're still in the room when I breathe in
But I don't let it pull me down
I can hold what we were gently
Without needing you now
I don't reach for you in the dark
I don't wait for a sound
You're not in my life anymore
But you're still around

Outro
And that's okay for now
