[Intro] Left hand stops At the middle seam Same old room Different gravity [Verse 1] Morning cuts across the sheet Thin as wire, pale as bone I wake up on my edge again Like the mattress has a border zone Your pillow keeps its stubborn shape I don’t touch it, I don’t stare I just count the ceiling cracks And pretend I meant to leave it there [Pre-Chorus] I can move through the house I can answer my name But the room knows the truth When the daylight changes [Chorus] Your side of the bed Pulls cold at my back I don’t cross that line I don’t know how yet It’s not a shrine It’s not regret It’s just the place love left Your side of the bed [Verse 2] There’s a lamp I never turn off There’s a drawer I never shut There’s a clean shirt on the chair I keep saying I’ll pick up I don’t make a speech about it I don’t fall apart on cue I just reach for the blanket And stop where it stops being used [Pre-Chorus] I can move through the house I can keep things in place But the night has a way Of finding that space [Chorus] Your side of the bed Pulls cold at my back I don’t cross that line I don’t know how yet It’s not a shrine It’s not regret It’s just the place love left Your side of the bed [Bridge] Maybe someday I’ll sleep crooked Take the middle for my own Maybe someday this room quits asking Why I still leave room for gone But tonight I let the line stay Not holy, not dead Just a quiet little border I’m not ready to cross yet [Final Chorus] Your side of the bed Pulls cold at my back I don’t cross that line I don’t know how yet It’s not a shrine It’s not regret It’s just the place love left Your side of the bed Your side of the bed No grand goodbye Just a hand near the seam And the morning light I don’t call it healed I don’t call it wrecked I leave one inch of mercy On your side of the bed [Outro] Left hand stops At the middle seam I leave it there And let the room breathe [End]
