You left our home because I was untrue
Like a fool, I ran around and cheated on you
You packed your bags and walked out the door
I still hear your footsteps on the hardwood floor

You’ve been gone a year
But you’re still here
Oh you’re still here
(You’re still here)

You’ve been gone a year
But you’re still here
Oh, you’re still here
(You’re still here)

I found your earrings under a living room chair
In the bathroom, I saw strands of your silky hair
Your recipes were stacked in the kitchen drawer
Your dining room seat is where you sit no more

Your sweet scent lingered in our bedroom
The seductive smell of your favorite perfume
On the pillow where your head laid for years
I traced the stain of your silent salty tears
You’ve been gone

Although you’re never near
You’re still here
Oh you’re still here
(You’re still here)

Although you’re never near
You’re still here
Oh you’re still here
(You’re still here)

I tried to sweep away the memories with a broom
I tried to wash away the guilt, grief and gloom
But nothing can cleanse my shame and fear
Because you moved on but you’re still here
(You’re still here)

And even though we go on, separate and apart
You still live in the chambers of my broken heart
You occupy the backrooms of my musty mind
I have only the sad souvenirs you left behind

You’re gone forever my darling dear
But I also realize that you’re still here
You’re still here

You’re gone forever my darling dear
But I also realize that you’re still here

You’re gone forever my darling dear
But I also realize that you’re still here
You’re still here
You’re still here
