[Verse 1] You left your blue coat on the kitchen chair Rain kept tapping while I stood there Your coffee cooled beside the sink I read your note, then watched the ink Run where your reasons should have been [Pre-Chorus] You said the truth would make this clean But every page says what you mean [Chorus] I still hear your key turn in the door Though I don't wait beside it anymore You took the room and called it yours Now I know what leaving's for I won't ask you to come back I won't dress the hurt in black [Verse 2] The landlord painted over our mark A pale square left against the dark I boxed your books and kept the map The one with coffee stains and scraps Of places we said we'd go someday [Pre-Chorus] You said the truth would make this clean But silence showed me what you mean [Chorus] I still hear your key turn in the door Though I don't wait beside it anymore You took the room and called it yours Now I know what leaving's for I won't ask you to come back I won't dress the hurt in black [Bridge] At the corner shop, I bought two cups Then caught myself before I picked them up Some habits take the long way out Some doors close quiet, without a shout [Final Chorus] I still hear your key turn in the door But I don't wait beside it anymore You took the room and called it yours Now I know what leaving's for I can name the things I lack And still not ask you to come back [Outro] The blue coat's gone The chair stays there A little room For cleaner air
