[Intro] You said, “Take your time,” then you packed your things Left your coffee cooling by the kitchen sink I watched your car turn past the corner store Still had your key, but not your door [Verse 1] We got good at talking sideways Reading meaning in a pause You would ask me if I’m okay I’d say yes and change the subject off I was learning how to need you Without handing you my name You were tired of the distance I was scared to make it plain [Pre-Chorus] Now your number’s still a habit My thumb knows where to go I delete the words I’m typing Then I leave the room alone [Chorus] I miss you, but I breathe better I love you, but I need my weather No one’s wrong, and that’s the hardest part We let go with both hands on the heart If I call, will it make things clearer? If I don’t, do I disappear? You’re the ache I don’t want to lose I’m learning what a life can do [Verse 2] Your jacket’s on the back stair Smells like rain and cedarwood I should take it to your sister But I keep it like I knew I would We were honest in the small ways Saved the last bite, checked the train Then we made our silence heavy Till it spoke for us again You said I made you feel uncertain I said you asked me not to change Maybe both of us were reaching From two sides of the same page [Pre-Chorus] Now the apartment sounds different Every wall has room to talk I can hear my own decisions In the spaces where you walked [Chorus] I miss you, but I breathe better I love you, but I need my weather No one’s wrong, and that’s the hardest part We let go with both hands on the heart If I call, will it make things clearer? If I don’t, do I disappear? You’re the ache I don’t want to lose I’m learning what a life can do [Bridge] Maybe love is not a promise Maybe love is telling truth I was holding onto us While I was holding onto you If you find somebody patient If I find a steadier door I will hope it doesn’t hurt you I will hope it hurts no more And if someday we can meet there With no score and no defense I’ll remember what you gave me Without asking for it back again [Final Chorus] I miss you, but I breathe better I love you, and I know that’s weather Some things end without a villain’s part Still leave fingerprints across the heart If I call, I might make things clearer If I don’t, I’m still here You’re the ache I learned to lose I’m finding what a life can do [Outro] Still here, still here Not yours, but I remember Still here, still here Love fades slow, then changes color [Chopped Vocal Outro] Still—still—still here Changes—changes—color I miss you I breathe better
