[Verse 1] Your sweater on the back of the chair Coffee stain in the shape of a tear I still set two plates out Then I stare At the empty side Breathing in the silence [Chorus] Why did it die The plan that we drew on the ceiling All of that time Folded itself into grieving Tell me how can I go on When every day feels half-gone If love was meant to last so long Why did it die And how can I go on [Verse 2] Our names etched light in the mailbox paint The garden you planted went soft Then faint I water the soil like a stubborn saint Trying to grow back what already left us [Chorus] Why did it die The map that we traced in our dreaming All of that time Pressed like a leaf in the evening Tell me how can I go on When every road runs where you’re gone If love was built to stay so strong Why did it die And how can I go on [Bridge] Maybe the point of a heart is to break So it opens wide enough for change Maybe the way that I honor your name Is learning to live in this ache [Chorus] Why did it die I may never find out the reason But with each sunrise I feel you inside every season Teaching me how to go on Carrying pieces of your song If love still moves me after you’re gone Maybe it lives each time that I go on
