Still Hear You - ExChillCafe
I made a habit of the quiet days
Filling empty rooms in steady ways
I learned to smile when the lights went low
To move through life and let it go
I tell myself I'm doing fine
That your memory stays behind
And most of the time I believe it's true
The world feels lighter without you
I get along in my own way
I face the night, I face the day
But sometimes, when the hours fall slow
I hear your name in the radio
I walk ahead, I don't look back
Still something pulls me off the track
I'm whole again, or so I say
Except sometimes, you come my way
The photographs are out of sight
Locked away from softer light
I've built a calm, a steady place
A quiet life I can embrace
But in the space between the sound
Is where the past is still around
And I don't run, I don't pretend
I've learned where broken pieces mend
I get along in my own way
I face the night, I face the day
But sometimes, when the hours fall slow
I hear your name in the radio
I walk ahead, I don't look back
Still something pulls me off the track
I'm fine, I've learned to let it stay
Except sometimes, you don't fade away
No anger left, no need to hide
Just quiet ways I keep inside
A memory that softly bends
But never really breaks or ends
I get along in my own way
The world keeps turning every day
But sometimes, like a distant tone
I feel your ghost inside my home
I keep on breathing, I stay strong
But sometimes still, you feel so long
I move ahead, I find my day
Except sometimes, you stay
