Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We signed our names
Hands shaking on the line
You kissed his head
Said you’d see him next time
But the morning came
And there was no next time
Only folded towels
And a number on a sign
[Chorus]
We still can’t walk past your kennel
Still can’t look at that empty space
Every step feels so dishonorable
Like we’re leaving you in that place
You were scared of every stranger
But you curled up in our hands
Now the hardest thing is breathing
In a world where you don’t stand
[Verse 2]
I hear your claws
On concrete in my sleep
I still save bones
In the cupboard we keep
We fight in whispers
Over what we should’ve done
Did we wait too long
Or did we give up too young
[Chorus]
We still can’t walk past your kennel
Still can’t look at that empty space
Every step feels so dishonorable
Like we’re leaving you in that place
You were shaking like an earthquake
Till you learned our broken plans
Now the hardest thing is living
With these empty
Open hands
[Bridge]
You only trusted two
In a world that looked away
We were supposed to choose
But the price was you that day
Tell me how to heal
When the hallway smells the same
Tell me how to forgive us
When I still say your name (so soft)
[Chorus]
We still can’t walk past your kennel
Still can’t face that vacant door
Every tile holds a memory
Every breath just asks for more
If love was all that you ever knew
I hope it followed where you ran
‘Cause the hardest thing is leaving
But we stayed there
As long as we can
