Lyrics
[Verse 1] I left your letter by the kitchen plate Beside the coffee gone cold The porch board bends beneath my weight Like it knows what I won't say out loud [Verse 2] Your blue coat hangs behind the door Still carrying that October rain I reach for it, then reach no more Some habits hurt the same [Chorus] If you hear me, don't come running I ain't ready to be found I'm still learning how to carry What we buried in this town [Verse 3] The old Ford coughs along the county line Past fields turned brown and bare Every mile takes a piece of mine But leaves your name in the air [Chorus] If you hear me, don't come running I ain't ready to be found I'm still learning how to carry What we buried in this town [Bridge] Maybe love ain't always keeping Maybe mercy means release I can hold the truth between us And still let you sleep in peace [Final Chorus] If you hear me, don't come running I can meet you halfway now I have learned to face the morning I have learned to take the vow [Outro] Your blue coat hangs behind the door But I don't reach for it anymore
