[Verse 1] Your cup still sits by the sink Two rings on the counter I reach for your jacket sleeve And find the air The room keeps your shape around me Like smoke in the curtains I say your name out loud Then taste the ache [Pre-Chorus] And I keep counting All the ways it broke One small silence Then the whole thing goes [Chorus] You'll never be around You'll never be around My hands still know your ghost But they come back empty now You'll never be around You'll never be around I wear the hurt you left Like glass under my skin [Verse 2] I left the porch light burning For a car that won't come Kept your side of the bed Like a promise undone The mail stacks up by the doorway Bills and your old postcard I fold the day in half And it tears apart [Pre-Chorus] And I keep counting All the ways it broke One small silence Then the whole thing goes [Chorus] You'll never be around You'll never be around My hands still know your ghost But they come back empty now You'll never be around You'll never be around I wear the hurt you left Like glass under my skin [Bridge] If grief had a door I'd slam it tonight But I live in the hallway With your name in the light I don't want "almost" I don't want "someday" I wanted your footstep To stay [Final Chorus] You'll never be around You'll never be around My hands still know your ghost But they come back empty now You'll never be around You'll never be around I wear the hurt you left Like glass under my skin You'll never be around You'll never be around And I still call your name Like you'll answer back again
