Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your coat beside the door The rain had found its way indoors I kept the hallway lamp alight Like you might come back home tonight [Pre-Chorus] I count the cracks across the frame Each one remembers your name [Chorus] I’m still holding what you let go A fistful of ash in the undertow You cut the rope, but i feel it pull I’m hollowed out and still not full If i could bury what we became I’d dig through every inch of me [Verse 2] Your coffee cup is chipped and stained The little blue one you complained I turn it over in my hand As if the break might help me understand [Pre-Chorus] The quiet leans against the wall I hear your footsteps after all [Chorus] I’m still holding what you let go A fistful of ash in the undertow You cut the rope, but i feel it pull I’m hollowed out and still not full If i could bury what we became I’d dig through every inch of me [Bridge] I gave you every locked-up room You filled them all with leaving soon Now something in me wants to break— I bite my tongue until it aches [Final chorus] I’m done holding what you let go No more hands in the undertow You cut the rope; i severed the pull I can be broken and still be whole I’ll carry the scar, not the blame And walk out carrying my name [Outro] The lamp goes dark The door stays shut
