Make a sad song that puts you into deep thought an

[Intro – gentle fingerpicked acoustic guitar, faint piano arpeggio] Morning light spills through the crack Your side of the bed still cold and slack [Verse 1 – soft strummed guitar, quiet shaker] I found your old hoodie in the back of the drawer The scent of your cologne’s almost gone for sure I made two cups of coffee like I always do Forgot you don’t sit across the table anymore [Pre-Chorus – subtle cello undercurrent, rising vocal tension] The radio plays that song we danced to in the rain I freeze mid-step like I’m stuck in yesterday The silence here’s so loud it makes my ears ring I keep waiting for your key to turn in the doorframe [Chorus – layered piano, gentle string swells, vulnerable vocals] Empty coffee mug on your side of the table Your favorite book still open to that fable I trace the cracks in the window where you used to lean Wondering if you ever think of me Empty coffee mug, empty space in the chair I still talk to you like you’re still there The clock ticks slow, the days drag on I’m still holding on to what’s gone [Verse 2 – acoustic guitar with light reverb, soft piano accents] I passed the park where we carved our names in the tree The letters are fading, just like you and me A stranger laughed like you did when you told that dumb joke I had to look away ‘cause my throat got tight and broke [Pre-Chorus 2 – slightly louder cello, more urgent vocals] I found a ticket stub from that movie we never saw I keep it in my wallet, a secret I still hold raw I still buy your favorite chips when I go to the store I don’t know why I do it, I just can’t let go anymore [Chorus 2 – fuller string arrangement, more emotional vocals] Empty coffee mug on your side of the table Your favorite hoodie hanging where you left it able I trace the lines on the photo where you smiled so wide Wondering if you ever think of the times we tried Empty coffee mug, empty space in the bed I still set out your socks like you’re not dead The world keeps turning, but I’m stuck in place Lost in the ghost of your warm embrace [Bridge – stripped back to solo acoustic guitar, whispered vocals] I know I should put your things away But I’m scared if I do, you’ll fade away I still wait for your text when my phone lights up I still hope that it’s you, even when I know it’s not [Solo – weeping violin melody, soft piano backing] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – full orchestral swell, powerful yet fragile vocals] Empty coffee mug on your side of the table Your memory lingers, a flame that’s able To keep me up at night, to make my heart ache I don’t think I’ll ever be able to break Empty coffee mug, empty room, empty soul I’m still waiting for you to come home The sun goes down, the moon comes up I’m still stuck in the love that’s gone [Outro – fading acoustic guitar, final piano note] Morning light spills through the crack Your side of the bed still cold and slack
