[Intro]
One last today
One last today
[Verse 1]
I washed my face in the sink
You saw the red in my eyes
Your hand on the doorframe
My words fell short and quiet
The room held its breath for me
Like salt in a paper cup
I tried to smile for you
But my throat was all worn up
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, I know
I can't hold it back forever
If I let one tear fall now
It might fall down together
[Chorus]
These are my tears, baby
These are my tears
I kept them locked up
For a hundred years
These are my tears, baby
Don't look away
I'm saying goodbye
In one last today
[Verse 2]
The mirror kept the shape
Of a man I used to know
One shoe by the front stairs
One dream I should let go
Your voice was soft as rain
On a screen door in July
You said, "Don't leave yourself
Just to make it through this night"
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, I know
The tide keeps turning under
If I break a little here
I'll come back whole in thunder
[Chorus]
These are my tears, baby
These are my tears
I kept them locked up
For a hundred years
These are my tears, baby
Don't look away
I'm saying goodbye
In one last today
[Bridge]
Maybe pain is just a name
For what stays when love is gone
Maybe healing takes a while
And I have to move along
So hold my face in your hands
Let the shaking pass through me
I can lose this weight tonight
And still wake up free
[Outro]
One last today
(One last today)
One last today
(One last today)
My tears can stay
Then fade away
One last today
(One last today)
