Unopened

Verse 1 Someone cleaned the kitchen Someone washed the floor Someone opened every curtain Someone knocked upon the door Everybody had an answer Everybody had a plan Everybody knew what happened Nobody knew who I am Chorus Leave the letters unopened Leave the phone alone Leave the flowers on the table I don't need them anymore Everybody says tomorrow Everybody says I'll heal But they're speaking to a person That no longer feels real Verse 2 The lawyer reads the paperwork The names and numbers blur A list of all that's left behind A list without her Aunt Luz talks about the future Maria holds my hand I know they mean to help me I just don't understand Chorus Leave the letters unopened Leave the phone alone Leave the flowers on the table I don't need them anymore Everybody says tomorrow Everybody says I'll heal But they're speaking to a person That no longer feels real Bridge A raven at the window Black against the sky Never asks a question Never asks me why Never says keep moving Never says be strong Just waits there in the silence Like it knows something is wrong Final Chorus Leave the letters unopened Leave the cards unread Leave the words for someone else To carry in their head The house grows dark around me The voices finally end And somewhere past the glass The raven comes again Outro The mail stays on the counter The cards go in the trash The light goes out And I don't look back
