[Verse 1] She played a hundred women Wore their accents like perfume Every opening night, another life Every closing, back to the room She was so good at being others The world forgot to learn her name Now the irony is perfect She forgot it just the same [Pre-Chorus] Who do you become When the becoming's done? [Chorus] Every room goes dark Every room goes dark The hallway and the kitchen hum The garden and the gate Every room goes dark And I'm still standing here Still calling through the silence Where your name used to wait [Verse 2] The photographs are losing color Faces bleeding through the glass She smells the coffee but can't place it Holds the cup like something passed He reads her old reviews out loud His voice cracks on the word luminous She smiles at him like he's a stranger Kind, but unfamiliar [Pre-Chorus] Who do you become When the becoming's done? [Chorus] Every room goes dark Every room goes dark The bedroom and the morning light The porch where autumn came Every room goes dark And I'm still standing here Still calling through the silence Where your name used to wait [Bridge] She spent her whole life disappearing Into someone else's skin And now the cruelest disappearing Is the one that's closing in Her wedding ring still knows his finger But her eyes don't know him No stage, no script, no final bow Just the quiet folding in [Final Chorus] Every room goes dark Every room goes dark But I will sit in every one And hold what's left of day Every room goes dark But I'm still standing here I'll whisper through the silence I remember I remember [Outro] I remember for us both I remember for us both Even when you can't I can
