[Verse 1]
Mug on the table
Your ring in the drawer
Dust in the sunlight
Still dancing like before
I talk to the hallway
It answers with air
Your coat by the doorway
Like you’re still standing there
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t raise my voice
But the truth still shakes
Every quiet breath
Is a fault line break
[Chorus]
I’m calm on the surface
But inside I quake
Holding this heart like it’s starting to crack
Loving you’s a storm that I still can’t escape
I lost you once
I keep losing you back
Calm before I break
Calm before I break
[Verse 2]
I cook for a stranger
Who never walks in
Fold down the covers
For skin that’s gone thin
Your picture is steady
My hands are not
I’m strong till I think
About all that we lost
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t raise my voice
But my chest still burns
Every steady word
Is a hard-learned turn
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I won’t beg you back
I won’t curse your name
I just light that lamp
At the window pane
If you see it glow
In the sleepless dark
Know I held my ground
But I left you my heart
[Chorus]
