still here with me

Verse 1
There’s a softness in the air tonight
Like the world is holding still
Your favorite spot is empty now
But I swear you’re here with me still

I catch myself looking around
Like you might come running in
Like nothing ever really changes
And you’ll be there again

Pre-Chorus
They say that nothing stays forever
But I don’t think that’s fully true
Because love doesn’t know how to leave
It just learns to live with you

Chorus
If this is how our story bends
Then I hope it bent you into peace
No more hurting, no more noise
Just somewhere you can finally breathe
You left me with your quiet love
The kind that never lets me go
If goodbye had a gentler face
I think that’s the one you showed

Verse 2
You weren’t just a passing part
You were every morning light
The way you’d know when I was sad
Without a single word in sight

And Hercules, I still talk
Like you’re listening nearby
Like you didn’t really disappear
Just moved a little past my eyes

Pre-Chorus
They say time will soften pain
But it doesn’t rush or break
It just teaches me to carry
All the love you used to make

Chorus
If this is how our story bends
Then I hope it bent you into peace
No more hurting, no more noise
Just somewhere you can finally breathe
You left me with your quiet love
The kind that never lets me go
If goodbye had a gentler face
I think that’s the one you showed

Bridge
Maybe you were always made of light
Maybe that’s why you shined so bright
If love can turn into the stars above
Then I know you’re in the night

Final Chorus
So I’ll find you in the little things
In warm wind and evening skies
And Hercules, I still believe
You never really said goodbye
If love can echo after loss
Then yours is always near
And if I look up when it’s quiet
I’ll know you’re still right here
