[Verse 1] Your coat on the back of the chair Still smells like the end of winter Mug on the counter, cold Lip print fading slower than we did I circle the same four rooms Like I’m tracing our old arguments Every shadow has your outline But not your voice [Chorus] So I’m leaving you behind In the dust on the windowsill In the cracks in the bedroom wall In the quiet that you never could fill I’m leaving you behind Doesn’t mean that I’m alright But I’m lighter on my own side I’m leaving you behind [Verse 2] Box by box, the past gets smaller Your sweater on top, then the letters I don’t read a single word Just tape them shut like a secret Taxi light bleeding through curtains Keys on the table, trembling glass I thought goodbye would feel louder It’s just me, exhaling at last [Chorus] So I’m leaving you behind In the dust on the windowsill In the cracks in the bedroom wall In the quiet that you never could fill I’m leaving you behind Doesn’t mean that I’m alright But I’m lighter on my own side I’m leaving you behind [Bridge] You’ll stay In the songs I skip In the dreams I half-remember Then let slip (oh) I’ll stay In this hallway light Teaching my heart To walk out of the night [Chorus] So I’m leaving you behind In the dust on the windowsill In the cracks in the bedroom wall In the quiet that you never could fill I’m leaving you behind Doesn’t mean that I’m alright But I’m lighter on my own side I’m leaving you behind [Outro] Door clicks shut Name on my tongue One last time Then gone
