After You’re Gone

I still hear your coat hit the floor at Night. Like you're late again, like we're still all right. Your coffee cup's waiting by the sink. God, it's stupid how the small things sting. The room feels bigger without your voice. Every silence sounds like a choice. I keep replaying what I should've said. Now I'm talking to walls instead. I was proud, I was blind, I was sure I was strong. Thought love would wait while I Proved I was wrong. Now the mirror don't lie, it just stares back Cold. At a man who let the best thing go. After you're gone, The nights get heavier. After you're gone, I'm not who I was before. I hold on To words I should have said. After you're gone, I finally feel it all. I feel it all. Yeah, I feel it all. Your friends stopped asking how I am. Guess they picked a side, I understand. I scroll past memories like a crime. Smiling faces frozen in better times. I sleep on your side of the bed sometimes. Like I might wake up in another life. Where I listened more, where I didn't run. Where "us" wasn't something I'd outrun, Run. I was loud when I should've been near. I was gone when you needed me here. Now regret's got a permanent tone. Saying, "You did this," every time I'm alone. After you're gone, The truth hits harder. After you're gone, every lie falls Apart. I was wrong, But I learned too late. After you're gone, Love don't wait. If loving you was losing control. Why does losing you feel like losing my soul? They say time heals, but time just shows. What you had and what you broke. After you're gone, I breathe but barely. After you're gone, The world moves unfairly, yeah. I move on, Yeah, that's what they say. But after you're gone, nothing's the Same. After you're gone, I finally stay.
