[Verse 1] I kept your note inside the kitchen drawer Beside the loose change and the takeout door The paper curled where the coffee had dried Still had your number folded inside [Pre-Chorus] I told myself I’d throw it away But some small things refuse to fade [Chorus] You left a little room in every room A chair pulled out, a half-read afternoon I walk past the place where you used to stand And feel the shape of your hand in my hand [Verse 2] The train ran late on a Tuesday night I watched the windows turn from dark to white A woman laughed with the same quick sound For one brief stop, you were still around [Pre-Chorus] I tell my friends I’m doing okay Then hear your name in the words I say [Chorus] You left a little room in every room A chair pulled out, a half-read afternoon I walk past the place where you used to stand And feel the shape of your hand in my hand [Bridge] Maybe missing you is not a door Maybe it’s the floor beneath it all I can build a life above the ache Without pretending I forget your face [Final Chorus] You left a little room in every room But I’m learning how to fill it with the truth I walk past the place where you used to stand And carry what was good in who I am [Outro] The note stays folded in the drawer I don’t need to read it anymore
