Coffee Cup by Freakshow1313

[Intro]

[Verse]
There's a coffee cup by the sink
 Still sitting where you left it
 Half a world away from morning
 But somehow I can't touch it

It's cold now, just like everything
 Since that night you went away
 And I know it's just a coffee cup
 But I can't bring myself to put it away

I've walked past it a dozen times
 I've stared at it and cried
 There's nothing special about that cup
 Except it was yours, and you were mine

And every time I reach toward it
 Something pulls my hand away
 Because washing off your fingerprints
 Feels like washing you away

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's foolish
 I know it's just a cup
 But some things carry everything
 When everything is bottoms up

[Chorus]
We'll meet again, somewhere down the road
Where the years don't matter anymore
I'll bring the memories, you bring that smile
And I'll get to hold you again for a little while
Until that day, I'll keep moving on
 Though part of me still stays strong
 And every morning when I miss you
 I'll stare at that cup and blow a kiss to you
We'll meet again...

[Verse]
A few more weeks have come and gone
 The world keeps turning and i'm still numb
 I've learned to wake up without you
 Though I still wake up lonely

The bills get paid, the grass gets cut
 The dogs have learned to sleep
 And everybody asks me how I am
 But every answer still cuts deep

But that coffee cup is still there
 By the sink beneath the light
 The last thing that your hands touched
 Before you left my life

I've moved a hundred things around it
 But I've never moved that cup
 Like somehow keeping it right there
 Means I don't have to give up

It carries more than coffee now
 It carries everything
 Your mornings, your laughter, your fingerprints
 And every little ordinary thing

[Pre-Chorus]
It's funny how the smallest things
 Can weigh more than the world
 And somehow that old coffee cup
 Still carries all the memories of my girl

[Verse]
Now the dust has settled on it
 And the worn spots haven't changed
 That little chip along the handle
 Still looks exactly the same
But I've started waking up some mornings
 And the pain don't hit as hard
 I still reach for you sometimes
 But I'm learning, it's still hard

And today I picked that cup up
 After all this time
 I stood there by the kitchen sink
 With your whole life running through my mind
I washed away the dust and tears
 And held it for a while
 Then I put it in the cabinet
 And somehow I could smile

It wasn't saying I forgot you
 It wasn't saying you were gone
 It was finally understanding
 That loving you means moving on

[Bridge]
I thought if I put it away
 I'd be erasing all those ways
 But you were never in that coffee cup
 You were in every day

You're in the roads I've driven
 You're in the songs I hear
 You're in every second I'm awake

And every year I got with you
Was a million memories in every blink
I'll keep loving...
I'll keep going...
Until I see you again.
Just a few more years, a few short miles until you see my grin

[Final Chorus]
We'll meet again, somewhere down the road
Where the years don't matter anymore
I'll bring the memories, you bring that smile
And I'll hold you like I did before
Until that day I'll keep moving on
 With your memory beside my heart
 And every morning when I miss you
 I'll know we're never really far
We'll meet again...
Somewhere down the road.
We'll meet again...
Somewhere down the road.
