She's Still Around Performed by Nigel Cuff
Echoes of Love: She's Still Around
Lyrics
I've thrown away all of her belongings
I have discarded all of her possessions.
Destroying everything she once held dear
Destroying everything that held sentimental value to her.
I've even taken down all of her paintings
I have removed all her paintings from the walls.
But somehow it seems that she's still here
Despite these actions, her presence is still felt.
I gave away all of her party dresses
I gave away her party dresses to detach from the past.
Her vinyl records that were scratched and cracked
Disposed of scratched and cracked vinyl records.
Then I discover one of her love letters
Stumbled upon one of her love letters unexpectedly.
And all the memories they come flooding back
Triggered by memories associated with the love letter.
I feel her near when I'm doing the laundry
Feel her presence when engaged in mundane tasks like laundry.
I feel her near when I'm at the grocery store
Experience her closeness in ordinary places like the grocery store.
She's beside me when I'm at the office
Feel her beside during work hours in the office.
She's beside me when I close the bedroom door
She remains with him even behind the bedroom door.
I've cleaned out everything from her wardrobes
Cleaned out everything from her wardrobes.
The xbox games that she and I would play
Disposed of xbox games associated with shared memories.
Then I chance upon one of her bracelets
Found one of her bracelets, bringing back memories.
And its as if she never went away
Her presence feels as if she never left.
I see her when I tidy up the garden
Sees her in the routine of tidying up the garden.
I see her when I mow the lawn
Her presence is felt while mowing the lawn.
I see her when I wash up the dishes
Observes her in the daily act of washing dishes.
Its as if she's never really gone
Her absence seems unreal; she is still present.
I feel her when I'm doing the laundry
Feel her presence again during the laundry routine.
I feel her when I'm at the grocery store
Her aura is sensed in the routine of grocery shopping.
She's beside me when I'm at the office
She accompanies during working hours at the office.
She's beside me when I close the bedroom door
Her presence lingers even behind the bedroom door.
She's with me when I wake up in the morning
Her influence is felt upon waking up each morning.
I see her name and memories abound
Encountering her name brings back a flood of memories.
I don't know how to exorcise her memory
Struggles with letting go of her memory.
There's no denying, she is still around
Accepts the undeniable truth that she is still present in some form.
I feel her near when I'm doing the laundry
Feel her presence during the routine of doing laundry.
I feel her near when I'm at the grocery store
Experience her closeness in the mundane act of grocery shopping.
She's beside me when I'm at the office
She remains with him during work hours at the office.
She's beside me when I close the bedroom door
Her presence persists even behind the bedroom door.
