[Verse 1] You left your coat on the kitchen chair Rain stippled dark across the sleeve I found your note beneath the sugar tin Three words I couldn't make myself believe [Pre-Chorus] I kept the key beside the sink Though you had changed the lock Some habits hold their shape for years After the door has stopped [Chorus] I let the old name leave my mouth Like a coin dropped down a well It fell past every version of us Past the stories we could tell You can keep the room, the ring, the map I won't ask the walls to choose I am more than what you called me More than what I had to lose [Verse 2] The kettle clicked at half past six Your chipped blue mug was upside down I washed it, set it on the shelf And watched the morning settle down [Pre-Chorus] I thought that leaving meant a door A final, clean divide But change came in the smallest chores And waited there inside [Chorus] I let the old name leave my mouth Like a coin dropped down a well It fell past every version of us Past the stories we could tell You can keep the room, the ring, the map I won't ask the walls to choose I am more than what you called me More than what I had to lose [Bridge] No grand goodbye, no burning page Just dust beneath the frame I fold the note and leave it there Without the borrowed name [Final Chorus] I let the old name leave my mouth And the silence made some room I kept the hands that learned to mend I kept the seeds that learned to bloom You can keep the room, the ring, the map I won't ask the walls to choose I am more than what you called me More than what I had to lose [Outro] The mug is dry The chair is bare The morning stays I stay here
