[Verse 1] I keep your cup by the sink Cracked lip, blue rim I still count two spoons Like you never left Your coat on the chair Still knows your shape I pass that doorway slow Like it might bite back [Pre-Chorus] And I bite my tongue Till it tastes like rust I hear your name In the floorboards dust [Chorus] Wife in my heart Wife in my heart You live right here You live right here Wife in my heart Wife in my heart I tear the night You keep me here [Verse 2] I burned your note once Kept the ash in my palm It rolled like a secret Through my shaking thumb The house holds your laugh In the fridge hum low In the cut on my hand In the rain on the road [Pre-Chorus] And I lash out loud But I fold back in I call your ghost Like a wound I defend [Chorus] Wife in my heart Wife in my heart You live right here You live right here Wife in my heart Wife in my heart I tear the night You keep me here [Bridge] [Half-time break] If I go too far Pull me back by the scar If I lose my face Find me where you are [Final Chorus] Wife in my heart Wife in my heart You live right here You live right here Wife in my heart Wife in my heart I tear the night You keep me here Wife in my heart Wife in my heart Till my bones go cold You keep me here
