leave the keys

[Verse 1] Boots on the welcome mat Dust in the evening sun Your coffee cup still on the counter Lip print, fading slow Half-written note on the table Crossed-out “stay,” underlined “go” Coat still hangs by the mirror I walk past it, back and forth [Chorus] Leave the keys on the kitchen light Don’t say a word, just let it die If you turn around, I’ll break again I’ll break again (oh no) Leave the keys where the shadows are Take all your shirts, but leave my heart If you turn around, I’ll beg again So leave the keys and go [Verse 2] Cab in the driveway waiting Headlights stain the door Your playlist stuck on the last track I can’t press skip anymore You stare at the fridge full of magnets Trips that we swore we’d take I taste your name on my tongue still But it cuts like metal shavings [Chorus] Leave the keys on the kitchen light Don’t say a word, just let it die If you turn around, I’ll break again I’ll break again (yeah) Leave the keys where the shadows are Take all your shirts, but leave my heart If you turn around, I’ll beg again So leave the keys and go [Bridge] If you touch my hand, I’ll follow If you say “one more chance,” I’ll fall So don’t be kind, just be honest Close your eyes, walk through the wall [Chorus] Leave the keys on the kitchen light Don’t say a word, just let it die If you turn around, I’ll break again I’ll break again (oh I will) Leave the keys where the shadows are Take all your dreams, I’ll keep the scars If you turn around, I’ll beg again So leave the keys and go
