I Still Hear Your Name

Submission Title: “I Still Hear Your Name”

Category: Song Lyrics (Pop Ballad)

Intro Narrative:

Grief is a quiet companion — one that lingers long after the world has moved on. “I Still Hear Your Name” was born from that silence. It’s a lyrical journey through love and loss, told through the eyes of someone still haunted by the echo of a voice they’ll never hear again.

In this piece, I wanted to capture the fragile moments — the empty chair at breakfast, the whisper of a memory in an old song, the desperate wish for one more goodbye. The structure follows the classic pop ballad style: emotional verses, a powerful chorus, and a reflective bridge, all designed to move the listener through a story of deep emotional weight.

This song is a letter to anyone who has loved and lost. And maybe, like me, still hears their name in the wind.

Title: “I Still Hear Your Name”

[Verse 1]

The morning sky’s not blue the same,

Since the day you slipped away.

Two cups of coffee, just one chair,

This silence feels too loud to bear.

Your footprints live on this floor,

I see your shadow behind every door.

I talk out loud to empty space,

Pretend you’re still in your favorite place.

[Chorus]

I still hear your name,

In the whispers of the wind calling me.

Every quiet night, you’re in my veins,

You’re the ghost I want but cannot see.

You’re not really gone,

You’re the ache I carry all life long.

[Verse 2]

Old photos still sing your voice,

Every smile now leaves me no choice.

Time won’t rewind, won’t trade,

But your memory never fades.

I’m stuck in the day you left,

Like the world took one final breath.

And nothing fills the space you filled,

No one heals what love once built.

[Chorus]

I still hear your name,

In the whispers of the wind calling me.

Every quiet night, you’re in my veins,

You’re the ghost I want but cannot see.

You’re not really gone,

You’re the ache I carry all life long.

[Bridge]

If time gave me just one more try,

I’d spend it in your last goodbye.

No final words, just one more touch,

And a prayer that still hurts this much.

[Final Chorus]

I still hear your name,

In the quiet that screams your memory.

The stars are talking through the rain,

Your love still sings inside of me.

You’re not really gone,

You’re the forever I hold onto when I’m alone.

Final Reflection: A Love That Echoes Beyond Goodbye

This isn’t just a song—it’s a grieving heart dressed in melody.

Every lyric tells the story of a love so deep, it didn’t just break—it shattered. Two souls once intertwined, dreaming of forever. They built a world together—inside jokes, quiet moments, held hands under fading sunsets. Until one day, forever ended without warning.

Death came like a thief in the night, stealing not just a life, but the rhythm of two hearts beating as one. Now, he’s left with silence—piercing, unbearable silence. But in that silence, her name still echoes.

He still hears her laugh in the rain, her voice in the wind, her memory playing like a record stuck on repeat. Every verse in this song becomes a doorway back to her—back to when everything still made sense.

This song isn’t about moving on. It’s about holding on. About honoring love through the ache. About writing her name into the sky so she’s never forgotten.

For anyone who’s ever loved and lost, these lyrics aren’t just words—they’re a shared heartbeat. A reminder that love, the real kind, doesn’t end when someone’s gone. It lingers. It sings. It stays.

Because sometimes, love is the echo that never fades.
