sad

[Intro – gentle fingerpicked acoustic guitar, distant rain patter] Rain taps on the kitchen pane Your favorite mug still bears your name [Verse 1 – soft strummed guitar, quiet shaker] The clock ticks slow since you've been gone I still leave the porch light on I fold your hoodie in the drawer Like I might need it just once more [Pre-Chorus – subtle cello hum, lighter guitar] I keep replaying every word The ones that hurt and the ones I heard Before you turned and walked away Left me with the quiet grey [Chorus 1 – layered vocals, soft piano accent] The coffee's cold, the chair's still bare I trace the cracks in the kitchen stair Every song on the radio Sounds like it's singing just of woe [Interlude – acoustic guitar solo, soft rain ambience] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 2 – muted guitar, faint distant thunder] I found your scarf behind the door The one you wore when we explored The old bookstore down the street Where we'd sit and talk for hours neat [Pre-Chorus 2 – cello swells, slightly louder guitar] I still buy your favorite tea Even though it's just for me I set a place at dinner time Like you'll walk in and say "hi" [Chorus 2 – fuller vocals, piano and cello mix] The sheets are cold, the bed's too wide I stare at the wall until I cry Every corner of this old place Holds a ghost of your warm embrace [Bridge – sparse guitar, quiet vocals] I know I should let go, move on But my heart's still stuck where you belong I'll keep waiting just a little more Even if it's behind a closed door [Solo – weeping cello melody, soft guitar backing] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – full instrumental mix, emotional vocals] The coffee's cold, the days are long I still sing our favorite song I know you're never coming back But I can't make the silence slack [Outro – fading guitar, rain fading out] The mug sits empty on the shelf I keep it there for myself
