Silent rooms, lingering light

(hummmm) I still see your trace dancing on the wall,

I still hear your laughter in the hallway down the hall.

The pictures on the table haven't changed their place,

But I can't find the comfort in this lonely space.

Your favorite song is playing on the radio,

It takes me back to places only we could know.

I close my eyes and wish that you were standing here,

But all I have to hold tonight is everything we were.

And I keep reaching for a hand that's gone,

Keep asking why the nights feel twice as long.

I never knew that silence could be so loud,

Or that I'd miss you in a room full of sounds.

These are the remnants of an empty room,

The fading scent of your favorite perfume.

Every little memory comes crashing through,

Every quiet corner still reminds me of you.

I'm talking to the walls,

hoping you'll reply,

Watching all our yesterday's go drifting by.

Though the world keeps turning underneath the moon,

I'm still lost in the remnants of an empty room.

I left the light on like I used to do,

A foolish little habit that reminds me of you.

The clock keeps moving,

but my heart stands still,

And every passing moment gives me time to feel.

I wonder if you ever think of me,

If our old memories still bring you back to me.

Or if you've found a place where the hurt has disappeared,

While I'm still learning how to face the quiet here.

And I keep searching for a sign of you,

In the morning light and the evening blue.

I never knew goodbye could leave a sound,

That keeps on turning every silence inside out.

Maybe someday I will open up the door,

And find a little peace where there was hurt before.

Maybe time will teach my heart to understand,

That some goodbyes are

things we never planned.

I'll keep the love,

but let the sorrow fade,

Remember all the beautiful moments that we made.

And even if your voice becomes a distant tune,

You'll always leave a mark in this room.

These are the remnants of an empty room,

Where the stars shine bright but the flowers never bloom.

Every little memory still carries me through,

And a part of who I am will always belong to you.

I'm done asking walls why you had to go,

But there are things my heart may never let me know.

Though tomorrow brings a different kind of moon,

I'll remember you in the remnants of this room.

The lights are fading,

and the night is still,

I'm learning how to breathe,

learning how to heal.

And though your footsteps disappeared too soon,

Your love still lingers in this empty room.

Oh, your love still lingers...

In this empty room.
