Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your coat’s still on my chair
Ashes on your lipstick glass
One heel by the window
Like you just slipped from the past
[Chorus]
Don’t say goodbye
Just leave your shadow in the doorway
Breathe in my sigh
Let it pull you back the slow way
If you have to go, then go
But leave the bruise, leave the ache, leave it slow
Don’t say goodbye
Just let it die in the dark
[Verse 2]
Your laugh stuck in the curtains
Your cologne in every room
Every clock keeps asking
Who will fill this hollow noon
[Chorus]
Don’t say goodbye
Just leave your shadow in the doorway
Breathe in my sigh
Let it pull you back the slow way
If you have to go, then go
But leave the bruise, leave the ache, leave it slow
Don’t say goodbye
Just let it die in the dark
[Bridge]
You trace my wrist
Counting all the times you missed (mm)
Say it soft, say it wrong
Say it once, then you’re gone
[Chorus]
Don’t say goodbye
Just leave your shadow in the doorway
Breathe in my sigh
Let it pull you back the slow way
If you have to go, then go
But leave the bruise, leave the ache, leave it slow
Don’t say goodbye
Just let it die in the dark (so dark)
