[Verse 1] You left your jacket on the kitchen chair One loose blue thread still hanging there I read the note beside the sink Then folded it before I could think [Pre-Chorus] You said the room was getting smaller I said I’d learn to let you breathe But every promise sounded hollow When you were standing next to me [Chorus] I keep the door unlocked for you Though I know you won’t come through Every little thing we couldn’t say Turns the quiet into blame If I’m the one you had to lose Why am I still waiting here for proof? [Verse 2] Your photograph is face-down in the drawer I pass it when I cross the floor The coffee cup you used to hold Still stains the wood a faded gold [Pre-Chorus] I hear your footsteps in the hallway Then the building settles back to sleep I tell myself that this is healing But the wound is mine to keep [Chorus] I keep the door unlocked for you Though I know you won’t come through Every little thing we couldn’t say Turns the quiet into blame If I’m the one you had to lose Why am I still waiting here for proof? [Bridge] Maybe love is not a rescue Maybe leaving was your truth I can mourn the life we pictured Without making it about you [Final Chorus] I’ll close the door I saved for you Let the morning find me new All the words we couldn’t say Don’t have to own me every day If I’m the one you had to lose I can finally choose what I do [Outro] The jacket’s gone from the chair I’m still here, but I can breathe the air
