[Intro]
Well, you left your coffee cup in my sink
Like a monument to giving up, don’t you think?
I can’t wash it away, those stains never fade
You’re in the echoes, every note I played
[Verse 1]
There’s a postcard pinned to my wall,
The one you wrote when we were small—
“See you this summer, or maybe next year,”
But I’m tracing outlines through a windshield smeared
I remember your laugh as it drifted on air,
Like a kite caught in branches we never shared
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I read the script of our tangled scenes,
Where we played the leads in unraveling dreams
Your sweater still clings to the back of the chair,
Fraying like secrets we never laid bare
[Chorus]
Oh love, what a strange affair,
We’re just ghosts in a house built with thin, quiet despair
You were the fire that warmed my cold room,
Now I sift through the ashes, while shadows bloom
[Verse 2]
The bicycle rusts by the path we would roam,
Where laughter once lived, now silence feels home
It’s echoes and dust, and the draft through the door—
A museum of moments that don’t live here anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
You juggled your burdens like stones in your palms,
I sang my regrets like off-key psalms
And sometimes I wonder, was it ever enough?
Or just puzzle-piece love that never quite stuck
[Chorus]
Oh love, what a strange affair,
We’re just ghosts in a house built with thin, quiet despair
You were the fire that warmed my cold room,
Now I sift through the ashes, while shadows bloom
[Bridge]
So here’s to the nights we danced through the wreck,
The missteps, the maybes, the love on the deck
When the world was a stage, and we played it unsure,
Lost in the laughter we couldn’t secure
[Outro]
I shake out the dust from your old winter coat,
Hum something soft in a half-finished note
And let your coffee cup quietly stay—
A relic of love that just won’t fade away
Seedling
