[Verse 1]
I still set your place at the table
Talk to your chair like you might walk in
Every cup in this house remembers your fingerprints
Every night
I drink from them again
Your sweater still sleeps on my shoulder
Threadbare
But I wear it like a shield
Your name is a song that my silence keeps humming
Soft under everything I feel
Love didn’t leave when you did
It lingers in the doorway
Watching me breathe
Every tear just waters what we planted
Hurts to touch
But I can’t cut down this tree
So I hold what’s left like a photograph fading
Edges gone
But your eyes stay clear
If letting go means losing the last of your echo
I’d rather ache than not have you here
I still set your place at the table
Talk to your chair like you might walk in
Every cup in this house remembers your fingerprints
Every night
I drink from them again
Your sweater still sleeps on my shoulder
Threadbare
But I wear it like a shield
Your name is a song that my silence keeps humming
Soft under everything I feel
Love didn’t leave when you did
It lingers in the doorway
Watching me breathe
Every tear just waters what we planted
Hurts to touch
But I can’t cut down this tree
So I hold what’s left like a photograph fading
Edges gone
But your eyes stay clear
If letting go means losing the last of your echo
I’d rather ache than not have you here
Styl muzyki
Slow-burning soulful R&B, male vocals. Warm Rhodes chords and subtle guitar licks over deep, round bass and brushed drums. Verse starts intimate and close-mic’d, growing into stacked harmonies and airy reverb on key phrases. Gentle organ swells in later lines, leaving pockets of silence for emotional pauses and breathy ad-libs., emotional, soulful, poetic, r&b
