Lyric

I don’t look you up, don’t trace your days

Don’t wonder who knows your face

I only feel the quiet place

You left inside, you couldn’t take

Not in the streets, not in the past

Somewhere between what didn’t last

Where you remain

Inside my frame

Where you remain, I search the room

Between my breath, between the truth

Not in your voice, not in your name

But in the way I hesitate

I don’t miss you like before

I just feel where you still are

Where you remain, soft and plain

In the spaces I don’t change

I learned your absence has a shape

It bends around the words I say

I’m not alone, I’m not the same

There’s just a part I can’t replace

I don’t chase signs, I don’t pretend

I just listen where you end

Where you remain

Under my skin

Where you remain, I don’t deny

It’s not a wound, it doesn’t cry

You’re not a thought I hold each day

Just a weight that learned to stay

I move forward, I explain

But some answers still refrain

Where you remain, quietly

Is still a part of me

At night I map my inner space

The corners time refused to erase

Not love, not loss, not what we were

Just something gentle, something blurred

I close my eyes, I feel the truth

You live in how I choose

Where you remain

I don’t complain

Where you remain, I let it be

No need to solve this memory

You don’t belong to now or then

Just in the way I comprehend

If hearts are rooms we never clear

You’re in the calm that lingers here

Where you remain, no disguise

Behind my quiet eyes

One day the space may change its form

Shift with the years, grow light and warm

Not disappear, not turn to dust

Just rest where feelings learn to trust

I won’t erase, I won’t explain

I’ll stop asking what it means

Where you remain

I stay the same

Where you remain, I won’t remove

You’re not a chain, you’re not a bruise

Just proof that something once was true

And left a mark I carry through

I don’t need you back again

I just know where you remain

Where you remain, quietly

Inside the best of me
