“When She’s Not Here”

Verse 1
When she’s not here,
this room’s too wide,
the silence knows me
better than my pride.
She left her perfume
on my worn-out shirt,
and I’m still standing here
knowing nobody’s coming back.
Chorus
When she’s not here,
the world feels wrong,
days fade like smoke,
the nights drag on.
I know, I know —
it’s really over now,
but my heart still doesn’t know
how to let her go.
Verse 2
My coffee’s getting cold,
the radio lies,
every empty “yeah”
says her name inside.
They say time heals,
time understands —
but time without her
is me without myself.
Chorus
When she’s not here,
the daylight’s gone,
the sun feels strange
above this town.
I know, I know —
you’re supposed to move on,
but every step I take
still sounds like her name.
Bridge (half-whispered)
I know… I know…
I know… I know…
(love hurts the most
when you’re left alone)
Final Chorus
When she’s not here,
there’s just a shade,
not of her body —
of my heart breaking.
And I know, I know —
someday this will pass,
but tonight there’s no sun
when she’s not here.
Outro
There’s no light…
when she’s not here.
