[Verse] I kept your shadow in a jar But it learned to breathe without you Glass fogged up from where you were It pushed against the glass as it grew Your voice still rattles in the dark Like coins inside a dried-up well I tipped the jar and let it out Nothing comes but a foul smell [Pre-Chorus] You were never really gone You were just rearranged You were never really gone You just learned how to change [Chorus] I kept your shadow in a jar But it learned to breathe without you I held the dark where you had been And it grew lungs and walked right through Now I'm the one inside the glass Now I'm the one who can't get out I kept your shadow in a jar But it traded places with me somehow [Verse 2] Fingerprints on every wall You left a map I couldn't read Some things don't stay where you put them down Some things don't know they're freed I carved your name into the floor The floor grew over it like skin I'm living in the space you left I'm paying rent to let you in [Pre-Chorus] You were never really gone You were just rearranged You were never really gone You just learned how to change [Chorus] I kept your shadow in a jar But it learned to breathe without you I held the dark where you had been And it grew lungs and walked right through Now I'm the one inside the glass Now I'm the one who can't get out I kept your shadow in a jar But it traded places with me somehow
