You Ain't Here
Echoes of Absence: Michael Jones' Heartfelt Ode to Love's Departure
Lyrics
I see your car on the road but you ain't driving
I observe your car on the road, but you're not the one driving
I walk in through the front door but you ain't there
I enter through the front door, but you're not present
A song comes on but you ain't singing
A song plays, but you're not singing along
I can't help but feel you everywhere
Despite your physical absence, I feel your presence everywhere
I see your face, I hear your voice everywhere I go
Your face and voice linger in my surroundings
I hide this pain inside, my heart won't shed a tear
I internalize my pain, my heart doesn't express sorrow
It's so hard to not let my feelings show
It's challenging to conceal my emotions
Cause everywhere I go, there you are, but you ain't here
Although I encounter you everywhere, you're not physically present
I think about the days we had together
I reflect on the days we spent together
And I remember all the times I held you near
I recall the times when I held you close
Back then I thought we had forever
In the past, I believed our love would last forever
Now living life without you's my greatest fear
Living without you is now my greatest fear
I see your face, I hear your voice everywhere I go
Your presence and voice continue to haunt me
I hide this pain inside, my heart won't shed a tear
I conceal my emotional pain; my heart remains unaffected
It's so hard to not let my feelings show
It's difficult to hide my true feelings
Cause everywhere I go, there you are, but you ain't here
Although you're everywhere in my experiences, you're not physically with me
Memories made and feelings grew, oh how much I loved you
Recalling memories and the growth of feelings; expressing deep love
I can't believe you're really gone
Struggling to believe that you're truly gone
We lived, we loved, we laughed and cried through the good and all the bad times
We shared joy, love, laughter, and tears through good and bad times
Oh God, I wish you were still home
A heartfelt wish for your return
Cause I see your face, I hear your voice everywhere I go
Your presence and voice persistently accompany me
I hide this pain inside, my heart won't shed a tear
I conceal my pain, and my heart remains stoic
It's so hard to not let my feelings show
Struggling to hide my genuine emotions
Cause everywhere I go, there you are, but you ain't here
Despite encountering you everywhere, you're not physically present
God I miss you so much, yes I do
An expression of intense longing and missing
But you ain't here
Emphasizing the absence despite the deep yearning
