[Intro – soft fingerpicking, second guitar very subtle]
[Verse 1 – low, close, natural]
There’s a light in the hallway
I still leave it on
(pause)
Don’t know why I do it
Now that you’re gone
---
[Verse 2 – einfacher, glaubwürdig]
Your shoes by the doorway
Right where you left them
(pause)
I keep walking past them
Like I forget then
---
[Chorus – reduziert, ehrlich]
And I’m still here
Where you used to be
Talking to the quiet
Like you hear me
---
[Verse 3 – alltag, konkret]
There’s a cup on the table
From the other night
(pause)
I could put it away
But it don’t feel right
---
[Chorus – leicht intensiver]
I’m still right here
Where you used to be
Holding on to nothing
That can hold me
---
[Bridge – sehr direkt]
(soft, rough)
I thought time would move me…
(pause)
But it just moves around me…
---
[Outro – leise]
(quiet)
I’m still here…
Where you used to be…
