[Synth Intro] [Verse 1] Your cup is drying by the sink I haven't moved it for a week The space you left across the table Is louder than the words we speak [Pre-Chorus] I know that porcelain can't remember Why do I handle it with care [Chorus] Your absence has a shape It takes your place beside me There is nothing I can break That brings your body back [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] I wash the sheets, I change the curtains The little rituals of repair A stranger sees a tidy kitchen I see the morning you were there [Pre-Chorus] I know that porcelain can't remember Why do I handle it with care [Chorus] Your absence has a shape It takes your place beside me There is nothing I can break That brings your body back [Bridge] I do not want a room of relics I do not want to sweep you out I want to hold what really happened Without arranging life around it [Final Chorus] Your absence has a shape It takes your place beside me There is nothing I can break That brings your body back [Outro] The cup goes in the cupboard I leave the handle turned
