[Verse 1]
Found your ring in the sink
Cold as a coin
Your dress on the chair
Like it never got worn
The room held its breath
When the doctor was gone
And I learned grief
By the shape of the dawn
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep your name
On my tongue
I keep your name
When the hurt comes
[Chorus]
Blues love, blues love
Cut me clean
Blues love, blues love
Ain’t what it seems
Blues love, blues love
Buried me deep
I got pain for life
And it sleeps in me
[Verse 2]
Your tiny shoes
Stayed in the box
I can’t pass that room
I just stop and lock
That little white blanket
Still smells like rain
I fold it up
Then I fall in the same
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep your name
On my tongue
I keep your name
When the hurt comes
[Chorus]
Blues love, blues love
Cut me clean
Blues love, blues love
Ain’t what it seems
Blues love, blues love
Buried me deep
I got pain for life
And it sleeps in me
[Bridge]
If I sing it out
Maybe I live
If I name the loss
It might let me give
But the house still aches
With your empty side
And I wear that wound
Like a coat outside
[Chorus]
Blues love, blues love
Cut me clean
Blues love, blues love
Ain’t what it seems
Blues love, blues love
Buried me deep
I got pain for life
And it sleeps in me
