[Verse 1] The house was finally quiet when I opened up the flap Streetlights through the curtains laying stripes across my lap A bracelet in a plastic bag a card with tiny feet A curl of hair tied carefully like something meant to keep [Chorus] I carried everything home in one small envelope Folded shut beneath my arm like something fragile broke The room stayed still around me the walls forgot to breathe Small things left behind for the living left beneath [Verse 2] The clock moved on without us the refrigerator hummed Someone somewhere laughing while the night continued on I laid everything out slowly across the kitchen table Proof that something happened here even if I’m unable [Bridge] No thunder no choir no grand unraveling Just silence sitting quietly inside of everything [Final Chorus] I carried everything home all that time could not contain Tiny sacred evidence still breathing through the pain And I sat beside the window until morning blurred the sky Holding all the small things left after goodbye
