Nobody Could Ever Replace You

The house still breathes your name at night
Empty chairs feel louder than the fights
I tried to fill the silence with new faces
But every smile just traces your shape

They touch my hand, but it feels wrong
Like wearing skin that's not my own

Nobody could ever replace you
I tried, God knows I tried to
But love isn't a room you can rearrange
Your ghost still sleeps on my side of the bed
Nobody could ever replace you
I break every time I pretend to
They kiss my lips, but it's not the same
'Cause I'm still loving you in someone else's name

I let someone else say they need me
But their voice just reminds me of you
I'm building lies just to survive
Painting your eyes in someone new

I'm tired of acting like I moved on
When every step is where you're gone

Nobody could ever replace you
I tried, God knows I tried to
But love isn't a wound you can erase
It bleeds your name, it knows your face
Nobody could ever replace you
I lose myself when I try to
They hold me close, but I feel alone
Like I'm borrowing a heart that's not my own

I'm not lonely when I'm by myself
I'm lonely when I'm with someone else
'Cause they don't know the way you did
They don't break me, they don't fix

I keep chasing the shape of you
In bodies that I barely knew

Nobody could ever replace you
You're the silence I run into
Every love I find feels like a lie
A copy that never gets it right
Nobody could ever replace you
Even time can't make it true
If I ever learn to love again
It won't be to forget you
It'll be to live with you inside my chest

So I stop trying to replace you
And start learning how to lose you
Slow
Without dying too
