[Verse 1]
Cold cup on the table
Lip print
Lipstick
Yesterday
Your chair still pulled at an angle
Like you just stood up and walked away
Dust on your favorite record
I still talk into this room
Say your name like it might echo
But it falls flat
Way too soon
[Chorus]
I keep your ghost in my coffee cup
Sip it slow so I don’t wake up
Every stain is a memory stuck
I stir
But it never lets go
I say I’m fine
But I’m making it up
Living on ashes in a coffee cup
Every morning I’m still in love
With someone I don’t know (anymore)
[Verse 2]
Your key’s still on the counter
Thin chain
Tangled in my hands
I trace that tiny metal mountain
Like I could climb back to where we began
I wear your old gray sweater
Neckline stretched from how you’d lean
It still smells like all our winters
And everything in between
[Chorus]
I keep your ghost in my coffee cup
Sip it slow so I don’t wake up
Every stain is a memory stuck
I stir
But it never lets go
I say I’m fine
But I’m making it up
Living on ashes in a coffee cup
Every morning I’m still in love
With someone I don’t know (anymore)
[Bridge]
Maybe I could wash it out
Throw this chipped old thing away
But I’d rather drink the silence down
Than start another empty day (oh)
[Chorus]
I keep your ghost in my coffee cup
Sip it slow so I don’t wake up
Every stain is a memory stuck
I stir
But it never lets go
I say I’m fine
But I’m making it up
Living on ashes in a coffee cup
Every morning I’m still in love
With someone I don’t know
[Outro]
Cold cup on the table
I take one last bitter sip
Your name hangs in my raspy throat
Then fades
On my lips
