[Verse 1]
You left your coat on the chair
Like you meant to come back in
Cold tea on the table
And your key in the bowl again
I read the room like a note
That was folded too many times
Your name still hangs in my mouth
Like smoke from a broken lie
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where the hours went
Tell me why it hurts to know
I keep your shape in the dark
Where the little shadows grow
[Chorus]
Don’t say my name
If you’re leaving
Don’t say my name
If you’re gone
I held the flame
Now it’s bleeding
Don’t say my name
Stay with me on
[Verse 2]
There’s a crack in the mirror
By the side of my bed
I watch my face turn stranger
When I hear what you never said
Your ring left a pale thin circle
On the wood by the door
I trace it with one finger
Like I’m begging for more
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where the hours went
Tell me why it hurts to know
I keep your shape in the dark
Where the little shadows grow
[Chorus]
Don’t say my name
If you’re leaving
Don’t say my name
If you’re gone
I held the flame
Now it’s bleeding
Don’t say my name
Stay with me on
[Bridge]
If you come back broken
Bring the truth this time
Bring the whole thing with you
All the sharp inside
I can love the ruin
I can learn the ache
But don’t lay a soft hand
Where my heart still breaks
[Final Chorus]
Don’t say my name
If you’re leaving
Don’t say my name
If you’re gone
I held the flame
Now it’s bleeding
Don’t say my name
Stay with me on
Don’t say my name
I’m still reaching
Don’t say my name
Not yet, not now
I held the flame
Now it’s leaving
Don’t say my name
And turn around
