the quiet after you/Lyrics:

Verse 1
I still leave the hallway light on,
like you might come home again.
Your coat is gone, your keys are gone,
but your shadow still comes in.
I hear your name in quiet rooms,
I feel you in the rain…
funny how a heart can break
and still call out the same.

Chorus
There’s a quiet after you
that I can’t get used to.
Every little thing I do
still remembers loving you.
And I try to move, I try to breathe,
but the silence stays with me…
there’s a quiet after you
and it’s louder than goodbye.

Verse 2
I found a note behind the clock,
your writing faded blue.
Just a list of ordinary things
we never got to do.
Now those simple little words
feel like pieces of you.

Bridge
Maybe love doesn’t leave at once,
maybe it fades room by room.

Final Chorus
There’s a quiet after you
that I can’t make it through.
Every empty morning feels
like another part of you.
And I try to smile, I try to sleep,
but your memory won’t release…
there’s a quiet after you
and it’s louder than goodbye.

Outro
I still leave the hallway light on…
but you don’t come home anymore.
