Untitled

Verse 1]

There’s a picture on the hallway wall

Tilted just a little to the left

I keep meaning to take it down

But I ain’t found the strength yet

Your coffee cup’s still in the sink

Like you’re walking back through that door

Funny how the quiet screams

Louder than it did before

I thought love was something

We could fix when it went wrong

Now I leave the light on in the kitchen

Like you’re gonna find your way back home

I still reach across the bed at midnight

But I’m reaching for alone

You said sometimes love just changes

But I don’t know what that means

’Cause if it really changed for you

Why’s it still the same for me?

I drive by our old street slow

Like maybe I’ll see your car

Like maybe you’re sitting on the porch

Wishing on the same old star

Everybody says “time heals”

But they don’t say how long

Or how you’re supposed to breathe

When half your heart is gone

I replay every word you said

Trying to find the crack

So I leave the light on in the kitchen

Like you’re gonna find your way back home

I still hear your laugh in echoes

In a house that feels like stone

You said sometimes love just changes

But I don’t know what that means

’Cause if you really stopped loving me

Why can’t I stop loving you?

I’d take the blame

I’d take the fall

I’d give you everything

If you’d just call

I’ll leave the light on in the kitchen

Even if you never come home

I’ll keep your side of the bed made up

Though I’m sleeping here alone

You said sometimes love just changes

Maybe someday mine will too

But tonight it’s still your name

That I’m whispering in the dark

Like you never said we’re through

There’s a picture on the hallway wall…

I don’t think I’ll take it down at all.
