[Verse 1] You left your name in the roll call A space no one knows how to fill They say your pain is over now Like that should make the room stand still I keep replaying every silence Every joke I let go by And I hate that I am angry While I miss you every night [Pre-Chorus] I know you were more than your last day More than the hurt you couldn't outrun But I wish you'd let me stand beside you Before the door was done [Chorus] I miss you, and I'm furious At the quiet you were trapped inside I hate that all the world kept turning While your whole world said goodbye You were my friend, you were still here In every stupid thing we'd do I can't forgive the night for taking you And I can't be mad at you [Verse 2] Your handwriting's on the old set list Your crooked notes beside my name I hear your laugh in somebody else's And for one second, things feel the same They tell me time will make this smaller I don't want a smaller truth You mattered more than their neat answers You were a whole life, not the news [Pre-Chorus] I know you were more than your last day More than the hurt you couldn't outrun But I wish you'd let me stand beside you Before the door was done [Chorus] I miss you, and I'm furious At the quiet you were trapped inside I hate that all the world kept turning While your whole world said goodbye You were my friend, you were still here In every stupid thing we'd do I can't forgive the night for taking you And I can't be mad at you [Bridge] If I'd called, would you have answered? If I'd stayed, would you have said? I keep putting myself on trial For a choice I never had I won't turn you into a warning I won't make your ending all you are You were loud, and strange, and generous You were here; you were ours [Final Chorus] I miss you, and I'm furious At the silence that swallowed your cries I hate that all the world kept turning But I'll keep saying you were alive You were my friend, you were still here In every story that we tell I can't forgive the night for taking you But I can say your name as well [Outro] Your name stays with us Your name stays with us You were more than your last day Your name stays with us
