[Verse 1]
Room still set for two
Dust on your old chair
Coffee cup in the sink
Lip print still there
I wear your black coat
Hangs wrong on my frame
Catch my face in the mirror
Hear you say my name
[Chorus]
I’ve been breathing ashes in my lungs
Sleeping in the wreckage of what we were
But I won’t drown here
Tied to your ghost
I’m learning how to live with the hurt
How to live again
With the hurt
[Verse 2]
I kept all your voicemails
Played them till they warped
Every word a knife twist
Every silence worse
Now I walk past your stone
Talk out loud like you stayed
Sun burns through the grey sky
Warms the flowers on your name
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I thought moving on meant losing you
Thought healing meant letting you fade
But you’re in every small decision
In the scars that finally stayed
[low vocal register]
So I set one plate on the table
And I eat
And I breathe
And I stay
[slow build
Guitars layer]
You’re the root inside my ribcage
Not a chain
Just where I came
[Chorus]
