You left your coat on the chair Like you might come back tonight I still keep the glass you used By the sink in fading light Your name on my phone burns red I don't touch it when it rings I learned how to live with the ache But it still knows how to sing And I try, I try To keep my heart quiet But it knocks, it knocks Like rain on the window Tell me why, tell me why Do I still let you in so When the door's been locked for days And my hands still shake I loved you in the dark I wore the hurt like gold You broke the sky in me And left me standing cold If I fall apart, let it show Let it show I loved you in the dark And I won't let go Now the cups all feel too clean And the rooms sound way too bare Every picture on the wall Feels like you were never there I keep walking past the street Where you said you'd meet me once Funny how the smallest lies Can turn into the loudest wounds And I try, I try To keep my voice steady But it cracks, it cracks When your ghost gets near me Tell me why, tell me why Do I still hear that melody In the quiet after you When the whole house moves I was fire in your hands Then ash under your thumb You called it love out loud But it never made me home If you come back to the edge Come alone I was fire in your hands Now watch me glow Take the pieces Let them fall I don't need your mercy I can hear the call From my own name From my own blood I was made from breaking And I'm not done I was lightning in the rain I was a wound that learned to shine You can keep the empty vows I'm keeping what's still mine If the night comes down again I'll stand tall I was lightning in the rain And I outlived it all
