Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Two coffee cups
Dust on one
Your side of the mattress
Untouched by the sun
Wedding dress box
High on a shelf
I talk to the wall
More than myself
[Chorus]
This house is still standing
But the marriage is gone
Like a photo left out
In the rain too long
I keep setting the table
For a ghost that won’t come
You walked out so softly
Now the quiet weighs a ton
[Verse 2]
Your hair in the drain
Your name on the lease
Your chair at the table
Like a rusted piece
The fridge full of magnets
From a life we planned
All those tiny countries
We’ll never understand
[Chorus]
This house is still standing
But the marriage is gone
Like a photo left out
In the rain too long
I keep setting the table
For a ghost that won’t come
You walked out so softly
Now the quiet weighs a ton
[Bridge]
I thought vows were anchors
Turns out they were thread
I keep sleeping on my side
Of a battlefield bed
If love has a language
Ours turned into blame
Now I flinch at the sound
Of my own last name
[Chorus]
This house is still standing
But the marriage is gone
Like a photo left out
In the rain too long
I keep setting the table
For a ghost that won’t come
You walked out so softly
Now the quiet weighs a ton
