You came in like rain on glass Soft enough to break me I held on with both my hands Till my hands were shaking You said love can learn to leave And still not turn to ruin Now your shadow in the hall Is the only thing I’m losing I keep hearing your goodbye In the seams of every room If I don’t open my fingers We will both get pulled in two I love that wants to let go I love that wants to let go It’s tearing me apart But I know, I know Some hearts stay soft enough To open up and fold I love that wants to let go I love that wants to let go There’s a cup beside your book Cold rings on the table Your coat still knows your shape Like a prayer that isn’t able I press my face to memory Till it cuts me like a river You are not the wound itself You’re the hand that helped me with it I keep hearing your goodbye In the seams of every room If I don’t open my fingers We will both get pulled in two I love that wants to let go I love that wants to let go It’s tearing me apart But I know, I know Some hearts stay soft enough To open up and fold I love that wants to let go I love that wants to let go If you go, go gently Leave the light on my door Let me learn your absence Like a shore learns what it’s for I won’t curse the turning I won’t beg the tide If love is made of holding It’s also made of letting slide I love that wants to let go I love that wants to let go It’s tearing me apart But I know, I know Some hearts stay soft enough To open up and fold I love that wants to let go I love that wants to let go
