Lyrics
[Intro] The room is cold where your picture used to hang I count the nails, I count the days [Verse 1] You left your coat beside the door As if you'd walk back in once more The coffee cup still bears your name But every morning tastes the same I held the words behind my teeth While something vital slipped beneath Now every promise that I keep Is one more burden I can't sleep [Pre-Chorus] If I could turn the hourglass I'd break the glass instead [Chorus] I am still carrying the weight Of everything we couldn't save Your absence carves a deeper shape Into the bones I have to face If love is more than what survives Then let it hurt and keep me alive [Verse 2] The hallway clock refuses rest Its hands keep pointing at my chest I found your note beneath the sink Three folded lines I couldn't read The words were simple, black on white They turned the whole house into night I wanted someone else to blame But grief has only one true name [Pre-Chorus] I feel the floor give way again And still I won't pretend [Chorus] I am still carrying the weight Of everything we couldn't save Your absence carves a deeper shape Into the bones I have to face If love is more than what survives Then let it hurt and keep me alive [Bridge] I will not make a shrine of pain I will not wear your loss like chains But if I fall, I fall awake With every piece I couldn't take [Breakdown] No more silence No more debt I remember I won't forget [Final Chorus] I am still carrying the weight But now I choose what I will save The wound is deep, the scar remains Yet I can breathe beneath the pain If love is more than what survives Then let it hurt— And keep me alive [Outro] The room is cold, but morning comes I leave the door unlocked for once
