Always There

Carla & Paul aka Butterfly Division

“Always There”

I still set the table like you’ll walk through the door,
Still hear your footsteps on that old wooden floor.
The world kept turning, but mine stood still,
You’re gone from sight, but I feel you still.

There’s no goodbye that makes it right,
Just empty space in the dead of night.

Nothing hurts like missing someone
You know won’t ever come back home.
It’s not loud, it’s not screaming,
Just a silence that won’t leave me alone.
It doesn’t fade, doesn’t heal,
It’s the kind of pain you never conceal.
Always there, always real—
This quiet ache I’ll always feel.

I laugh a little softer now, smile a little less,
Carry your memory like a weight on my chest.
People say time will soften the blow,
But they don’t know what I know.

There’s no rewind, no second chance,
Just ghostly echoes in every glance.

Nothing hurts like missing someone
You know won’t ever come back home.
It’s not loud, it’s not screaming,
Just a silence that won’t leave me alone.
It doesn’t fade, doesn’t heal,
It’s the kind of pain you never conceal.
Always there, always real—
This quiet ache I’ll always feel.
And if love could’ve saved you, you’d still be near,
But now I hold you in memories and tears.

‘Cause nothing hurts like missing someone
When forever really means they’re gone.
It’s not loud, it’s not screaming,
Just a shadow that follows me on.
It doesn’t fade, doesn’t heal,
It’s the kind of pain that time can’t steal.
Always there, always real—
This quiet ache I’ll always feel.
