The room is quiet, lights are low Your shadow’s gone, but I still know The way you moved, the way you stayed Still lingers in the air you made Your voice is fading in my mind Like something soft I couldn’t bind No goodbye, no last embrace Just your echo in this place We didn’t break, we didn’t fall We just became… nothing at all But something here won’t let me go A quiet kind of afterglow In the afterglow silence I still feel you around Every word that we didn’t say Still makes a sound In the afterglow silence There’s a trace of you Not enough to hold on to But enough to feel it through Your cup is still beside the bed Like something left but never said I trace the space you used to be But it’s just the night and me No tears fall, no sudden pain Just a soft, familiar rain Like a love that didn’t end But didn’t stay the same We didn’t fight, we didn’t lose We just had nothing left to choose But in between the empty glow There’s something I still don’t let go In the afterglow silence I still feel you around Every touch that we let fade Still pulls me down In the afterglow silence There’s a trace of you Not enough to call it love But enough to stay the truth Maybe this is what remains Love without the shape or name Not a wound, not a scar Just a memory from afar I don’t need to ask you why I don’t need a last goodbye Some things never really end They just soften in the end In the afterglow silence You’re still here somehow In the space we left behind I feel you now In the afterglow silence I don’t hold you tight But you stay between my thoughts Every single night Afterglow… Still you glow
