Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your coffee cup still on the shelf
Lipstick stain that never left
I talk out loud to empty rooms
Answer myself
Then dodge the truth
Caught in the space between was and is
Every silence feels like a quiz
How do I circle “none of the above”
When every choice still points to us
[Chorus]
You were my lifeline
Running through the dark days
Pulling me to sunrise
Now I’m on the sidelines
Watching all the clocks spin
Stuck on when you were mine
I keep reaching through the years
For a hand that’s not here
You were my lifeline
You were my lifeline
[Verse 2]
I save your seat at every show
Laugh too loud so I don’t fold
Scroll our photos till they blur
Half of me is still with her
People ask
“So how’ve you been?”
I switch the subject
Change the end
How do I grieve what has no name
Just empty chairs and phantom weight
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Time moves
I don’t
Everyone’s healing while I choke
On birthdays
On midnights
On almost calling your old phone
[low vocal register] I’m learning to breathe in the breaks
[whispered vocals] Letting the seconds hold your shape
If time is all that I have left
I’ll trace you in each stolen breath
[Chorus]
