[Verse 1]
You in the room, still feel far
Phone face down, dark bar
Two plates set, mine cold
Your chair creaks, whole house old
I talk low, you look through
Like my name don't get to you
I fold hurt neat, small and square
Put it in my pocket there
[Pre-Chorus]
I been breathing through the ache
Trying not to make a quake
If I stay calm, maybe
I can hear myself again
[Chorus]
Peace in the empty
Peace in the space
If you won't hold me
I can hold my face
Peace in the empty
Peace in the hush
I don't need your fire
Just to feel enough
[Verse 2]
You laugh once, then it dies
Like a spark caught in the ice
I watch steam leave the mug
And I stop asking for a hug
Not 'cause I stopped wanting you
Just 'cause wanting hurt too true
So I water my own roots
Learn to stand where the silence roots
[Pre-Chorus]
I been breathing through the ache
Trying not to make a quake
If I stay calm, maybe
I can hear myself again
[Chorus]
Peace in the empty
Peace in the space
If you won't hold me
I can hold my face
Peace in the empty
Peace in the hush
I don't need your fire
Just to feel enough
[Bridge]
Maybe love ain't always loud
Maybe it don't beg in crowds
Maybe I was lost so long
I forgot my own soft song
If you leave me in this room
I can grow a little bloom
[Chorus]
Peace in the empty
Peace in the space
If you won't hold me
I can hold my face
Peace in the empty
Peace in the hush
I don't need your fire
Just to feel enough
