Lyric

Streetlights flicker, cold and clear

December hums, but you’re not here

The radio plays our favorite song

But it just feels too long

The table’s set for only one

The candles burn, the night goes on

Your cup still waits, untouched, alone

I whisper “Merry Christmas” to my phone

The snow outside is falling slow

Each flake a word I’ll never show

I smile, though no one knows —

It’s just the way it goes

Lonely Eve, but I’m still breathing

In this silence, my heart’s healing

The stars can’t hear, but I still sing

To the memory of everything

Lonely Eve…

The TV laughs, but I don’t care

Your shadow lingers in the air

Our photos glow on silver screens

Like frozen dreams that used to mean

I pour a drink, it feels the same

As if the glass remembers your name

This quiet ache I can’t disguise —

It shimmers in my eyes

Lonely Eve, but I’m still breathing

In this silence, my heart’s healing

The stars can’t hear, but I still sing

To the memory of everything

Lonely Eve…

Maybe love just changed its face

Not gone, just in another place

I light a candle, close my eyes —

And let the night apologize

Lonely Eve, I’m still believing

Even pain can hold some meaning

The snow falls soft, but I don’t grieve

I’m learning how to breathe

Lonely Eve…

The bells fade slow

But now I know —

I’m not alone tonight
