Lyrics
Hm
When my chair sits empty at the table
And my voice no longer fills the room
Don't let the silence make you think
I disappeared too soon
If you find my jacket in the hallway
Still shaped like I was there
Hold it close, I promise you
My love is in that air
Don't measure life by final breaths
Or by the closing days
Measure it by every time, mm
I chose for you to stay
After I pass away
Don't you let your heart turn cold
Every word I ever said
Is yours to keep and hold
I'll be the whisper in the wind
That brushes through your hair
The quiet strength inside your chest
When life feels unfair
After I pass away
Don't think that I am gone
Love doesn't end in Heaven
It simply carries on
If the nights feel twice as heavy
And the world feels twice as loud
Close your eyes, I'll meet you there
Beyond the breaking clouds
I'll sit beside your sorrow
Like I always used to do
And if tears fall down your face
They'll fall on me too
Don't remember me for dying
Remember how I lived
Remember how I held your hand
Like letting go would hurt too much
Because it will
Hm
Oh
After I pass away
Live louder than I could
Be braver than my fears allowed
Be stronger than I stood
And when your time is ending
And the sky turns golden gray
Don't be afraid to close your eyes
I'll be there waiting
Waiting
