“You’re Still Here… But You’re Gone”
(Verse 1)
You asked me what my name was today
Like I was someone you just met
You smiled polite — like I’m a stranger
But I’m your blood, don’t you forget
You held my face and called me “brother”
I haven’t been that in years
Your eyes were searching through the room
Like memories disappear

(Pre-Chorus)
I see the panic when it hits
That moment when the lights go dim
You try to laugh it off again
But I can see you losing him

(Chorus)
You’re still here… but you’re gone
Standing in front of me
But the map in your mind is torn
And you don’t know how to get home
I’m screaming your name inside
But you’re drifting somewhere I can’t reach
You’re still breathing… still warm… still strong
But you’re not you… not fully
And it’s killing me watching you leave
While you’re still holding my hand

(Verse 2)
You told me stories from your childhood
Like they happened yesterday
But you can’t remember Christmas morning
Or the words I tried to say
You look at old photographs
Like someone else lived that life
You ask if she was “a good woman”
That’s your wife… that’s your wife

(Pre-Chorus)
I see the fear behind your smile
When you forget what day it is
You whisper, “Something’s wrong with me”
And I don’t know what to give

(Chorus)
You’re still here… but you’re gone
Your voice is there — but it’s not the same
Like a house that’s been half torn down
But still standing in the rain
I’m begging God for one more day
Where you look at me and know
That I’m your son… I’m your blood…
I’m the one who won’t let go
You’re still breathing… still warm… still strong
But your memories are fading slow
And it’s killing me loving you
While you’re disappearing in front of me

(Bridge — stripped back, almost spoken)
And the hardest part isn’t losing you…
It’s losing you piece by piece
It’s watching the strongest man I knew
Be afraid of his own reflection
It’s hearing you say
“Have we met before?”
When you taught me how to ride a bike
How to fight
How to live
And now I’m teaching you
How to remember your own name

(Final Chorus — louder, breaking)
You’re still here… but you’re gone
I can’t hold what’s slipping away
Every day feels like a funeral
For the man you were yesterday
If love could fix what’s breaking
I’d pour mine into your veins
I’d carry every memory for you
I’d take all of your pain
You’re still breathing… still warm… still strong
But I’m saying goodbye too soon
You’re still here…
But I’m already missing you
