The Truth

歌詞

Your blue mug’s still beside the sink I pass it twice before I think The plant you named is leaning thin I turn it toward the window again Your jacket hangs behind the door Like you might reach for it once more I tell my friends I’m doing fine Then check your name at closing time I know the truth, I know the cost I’m learning how to miss what’s lost You left your shape inside my room A little space I can’t move through I changed the sheets, I changed the view But every quiet leads to you I’m not asking you to come back home I’m just tired of feeling alone If loving you was all I knew I’m still unlearning you The grocery list is in your hand Two peaches, coffee, weekend plans I tore it up, but kept the part Where your handwriting crossed my heart I take the long way past your street Not to see you, just to breathe But every porch and passing car Turns one old minute into ours I know the truth, I know the cost Some things return, some things stay lost You left your shape inside my room A little space I can’t move through I changed the sheets, I changed the view But every quiet leads to you I’m not asking you to come back home I’m just tired of feeling alone If loving you was all I knew I’m still unlearning you Maybe one day this ache gets small Maybe your name won’t shake these walls I’ll pour one coffee, just for me And let the morning be the morning You left your shape inside my room But I can make a little room I changed the sheets, I changed the view And let the silence tell the truth I’m not asking you to come back home I’m finding ways to stand alone If loving you was all I knew I’m finally unlearning you Your blue mug’s still beside the sink But now I let the water run
