You live in my memory

Verse 1 Your name still lives in everyday things, In coffee cups and broken rings. I hear your laugh in empty rooms, Like echoes that don’t know they’re doomed. Time keeps moving, I stay still, Trying hard, but never will. Pre-Chorus I tell myself you’re just a thought, But thoughts don’t hurt like this a lot. Chorus I miss you in ways I can’t explain, Like breathing hurts, but feels the same. Memories knock when I lock the door, I swear I’ve been here all before. You’re gone, but not from me, You live inside my memory. Verse 2 I pass the places we once knew, Every street still leads to you. I laugh with friends, I seem okay, But I still lose you every day. If missing you was just a crime, I’d be serving life in time. Pre-Chorus I learned how to say “I’m fine,” But never how to say goodbye. Chorus I miss you in the quiet nights, In unfinished thoughts and half-lit lights. Memories burn, but softly now, Like promises we never vowed. You’re gone, but still I see You living in my memory. Bridge If I could erase one part of me, It’d be the part that still believes That one day you’ll come back home, And prove I wasn’t wrong alone. Final Chorus I miss you more than words can say, More in the dark than in the day. Memories don’t let me be, They keep you close, but haunt me. If loving you is my history, Then missing you is my memory.
