LYRICS: This house doesn’t breathe the way ours did When your footsteps filled the hall, I still hear laughter in the walls Though there’s nothing there at all. Your jacket’s gone, your side stands still, Dust where the sunlight plays, I tell myself you’re doing fine But I worry anyway. I see the cracks you try to hide Through pictures on a screen, I’d cross the world to ease your hurt If you’d just let me in. When the phone don’t ring, I listen harder, Like silence might explain, Every word I should’ve said Echoes louder with your name. If I taught you how to walk away, I never meant this far, I’d still hold you through the dark If you’d remember where we are. I replay moments late at night, The sharp replies, the tired tone, Times I chose the wrong damn words Or stayed quiet on my own. I was learning as I went, my love, Just trying to get it right, I didn’t know the years were fast Or that goodbye came quiet. Your life grew big, my world grew small, The days fall thin and slow, I don’t need much, I just need to know You know you’re not alone. When the phone don’t ring, I listen harder, Like silence holds the truth, I still see the person I fell for Inside the one you’ve become. If I ever closed a door You needed open wide, I’m still here on the other side. They say let go, they say be proud, They say this is the way, But no one tells you how it feels To fade from every day. I don’t want to pull you back, I just want a sign, A voice, a laugh, a simple call To say you’re alright. When the phone don’t ring, I whisper prayers Into empty air, Time keeps moving forward now But love just lingers there. If I’m growing old in quiet rooms With memories and regret, Know every part of me is here— I’m still loving yet. Still waiting… Yeah, I’m still waiting. #blues #soul #jazz #Americana #modernblues #electricblues #femalevocalist #womeninblues #emotional #gritty #heartfelt #storytelling #ballad AI Disclosure: My thumbnails and music are created with AI-assistance, but the lyrics, concepts, themes, and stories are written by me and draw from my own experiences, observations, and personal views.
