[Verse 1]
I kept the test beside the toothbrush cup
A little white secret I was scared to touch
We chose a name and folded it in half
Inside the notebook where the grocery list was stacked
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the room went still beneath the paper light
And every future slipped away that night
[Chorus]
I never got to hold you, never learned your face
Never heard you cry or felt your fingers clasp my hand
But I loved you in the instant that I knew
And I don't know where to put that love now that you're gone
I don't know where to put that love now that you're gone
[Verse 2]
The tiny socks stayed tucked inside the drawer
The ones your aunt brought over from the store
I pass the empty room and count the days
Like counting might bring back the life we couldn't save
[Pre-Chorus]
People say the time will smooth the edges down
But your absence has a shape inside this house
[Chorus]
I never got to hold you, never learned your face
Never heard you cry or felt your fingers clasp my hand
But I loved you in the instant that I knew
And I don't know where to put that love now that you're gone
I don't know where to put that love now that you're gone
[Bridge]
Maybe love is not a door that needs a key
Maybe you were real because you changed me
For one brief morning, you were ours to name
And nothing can make that morning less than pain
[Final Chorus]
I never got to hold you, never learned your face
Still I know the room you made inside my chest remains
I will carry every version of you
The little life we dreamed, the little life we never knew
And if love can reach you, wherever you have gone
Then you are held, you are held, you are held in me
[Outro]
I kept the test beside the toothbrush cup
A little white secret I will always love
