[Verse 1] You left your coat on the piano chair A note half-written, hanging there I learned your laugh, then learned its end While another tune came round the bend [Pre-Chorus] Every name leaves a different key Every goodbye keeps a part of me [Chorus] I keep two melodies in one chest One says stay, one says forget They turn and cross where the measures divide Unfinished duets, with nowhere to hide I try to resolve what we couldn't complete But every new love changes the beat [Verse 2] Your coffee ring marks the kitchen page A minor chord at the edge of the stage Someone new hums a line in the hall And the old one answers through the wall [Pre-Chorus] Every promise starts fresh and clear Then the older harmonies gather near [Chorus] I keep two melodies in one chest One says stay, one says forget They turn and cross where the measures divide Unfinished duets, with nowhere to hide I try to resolve what we couldn't complete But every new love changes the beat [Bridge] Maybe the clash is the shape of the truth Each song keeps the room that it learned from you No final chord can make them agree Still both of them live in the same heart of me [Final Chorus] I keep these melodies in one chest One says begin, one says rest They turn and cross, then rise side by side Unfinished duets, still open wide I won't erase what we couldn't complete I'll carry the songs that made room for the next beat [Outro] A page left open, a chair pulled near Two quiet tunes, still turning here
