I kept your keys by the door Like it might still matter The hallway held your name Long after you left Rain on the window Mud on your boots You said, “I’m not running” But you were halfway through I watched your hand shake At the old brass latch Then you turned your face Like you knew what you had Don’t say it soft Don’t make it kind If you’re gonna break me Break me right One last look One last breath I can feel the lie Before you say it Black water waltz Pull me under Black water waltz Call me back If you leave me here I’ll still remember Black water waltz On the map (Black water waltz) (Black water waltz) Your ring left a circle On the dresser wood And the lamp kept burning Like it understood I wore your silence Like a second skin Trying to hear the shape Of where you’d been Now the porch boards creak With a ghost of us And the yard goes still When the night gets rough Don’t say it soft Don’t make it kind If you’re gonna break me Break me right One last look One last breath I can feel the lie Before you say it Black water waltz Pull me under Black water waltz Call me back If you leave me here I’ll still remember Black water waltz On the map (Black water waltz) (Black water waltz) Tell me that door Was never mine Tell me the road Took you in time I’ll stand in the wreck I’ll wear the rain If loving you Was how I learned the pain Black water waltz Pull me under Black water waltz Call me back If you leave me here I’ll still remember Black water waltz On the map Black water waltz Take me with you (Black water waltz) (Black water waltz)
