they dont come back

Ooh

Oh

I've been quiet since the day they called my phone

Told me you was gone and I was all alone

I swear I screamed but no sound came out

Just sat in the dark trying to figure it out

Your name still pop up in my favorites

And I still reach out like you gon' say

They told me to be strong, but I ain't brave

I'm just good at pretending, I'm okay

And they hug me, but it don't hit the same

They check in, but they don't know to wait

Grief ain't loud, it's quiet in your chest

Is waking up crying, no reason, no rest

They don't come back

And I don't know how to move past that

I don't want time to heal this pain

I just want you back, is that insane?

God took you and left me here

And I still talk to you hoping you'll hear

They say you're peace

But what about me?

I ain't smiled for real since the day you left

A fake laugh don't cover a heavy chest

I put on your hoodie just to breathe you in

Still sleep on your side like I'm saving it

People text me, checking in on your soul

But no one stays long just saying they know

And I hate to sound bitter or mean

But if they knew they'd still be on their knees

I don't need quotes or another damn prayer

I need one more second with you right here

Tell me again that you love me loud

So, I can hold you when the pain gets proud

'Cause they don't come back

And I'm left with pictures in silence

I talk to the sky, but I want your reply

Your laugh, your voice, your guidance

So, if you see me breaking, just know I'm trying

'Cause losing you felt like dying

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Feel like dying
