Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Coffee gone cold on the counter

Ink bleeding out of a list I won't do

You said you were fine

Then you folded

Like a letter you never meant to send through

Your coat's still hanging by the doorway

Dust in the sleeves

Like it’s waiting on you

I talk to the walls when it’s quiet

They answer in echo

They sound just like you

[Chorus]

I keep your ashes on the window

Let the morning draw your outline in the dust

Every sunrise feels like begging

For a version of us I can trust

I keep your ashes on the window

Watching everything we promised slowly rust

I’m screaming at the sky you left behind

But it never answers back about us

[Verse 2]

I drive past the house where we started

White paint peeling like the year that we broke

Your laugh in the yard

Then the sirens

Then silence that settled in my throat

Friends say I "seem a lot better"

They don't see me counting all the ways I’m not

Wearing your shirt in the kitchen

Pretending I’m someone you never forgot

[Chorus]

I keep your ashes on the window

Let the morning draw your outline in the dust

Every sunrise feels like begging

For a version of us I can trust

I keep your ashes on the window

Watching everything we promised slowly rust

I’m screaming at the sky you left behind

But it never answers back about us

[Bridge]

Did you find that quiet you were chasing? (yeah)

Did the weight finally fall from your hands?

'Cause I'm here with the ghosts and the spaces

Trying to forgive what I don't understand

[Chorus]

I keep your ashes on the window

Let the morning draw your outline in the dust

Every sunrise feels like begging

For a version of us I can trust

I keep your ashes on the window

Watching everything we promised slowly rust

And I'll keep breaking on this bedroom floor

Till I learn to let go of us
