My old guitar still knows your name |
LyricsMy old guitar Still Knows Your Name Yves Stilmant © 2025[Verse 1] I found your coat behind the door Still smells like nights we needed more The coffee's cold, the porch is still But your voice echoes up that hill [Verse 2] The photos fade but not the pain This house ain't home since you left your name On every wall, in every frame I still reach for you all the same [Pre-Chorus] And every night when it's quiet here I strum the chords and you reappear [Chorus] My old guitar still knows your name Every chord bleeds just the same You're in the sound, you're in the pain You left your mark on every strain I play to heal, but it's still true-- This song's still got a piece of you [Verse 3] The bar's too loud, the crowd too thin Still chasing ghosts where you have been Your lipstick's red on my refrain Even the silence sings your name [Verse 4] I tried to write you off the page But some stories don't ever fade You're every line I can't erase Still staring back from empty space [Pre-Chorus] Some songs you write, some songs survive You're the reason mine's still alive [Chorus] My old guitar still knows your name Every chord bleeds just the same You're in the hum, you're in the flame The strings still burn but feel no shame I play to move, but stay stuck too-- This melody still carries you [Bridge] Maybe someday the song will end And I'll stop waiting on the bend But until then, I'll play this tune And let it sing what I can't do [Final Chorus] My old guitar still knows your name Every chord bleeds just the same From tear-stained nights to morning light You're the ache I hold too tight The stage goes dark, the crowd moves through-- But this guitar still plays for you |
