A country lament unfolds with exposed solo piano, each resonant note surrounded by silence, The male vocal enters first, fragile and bare, joined intimately by the female for duet passages, Subtle pedal sustains add warmth; harmonies remain delicate and subdued, sustaining emotional intimacy

[Intro]
solo intimate piano

Pulled the curtains, let the daylight die  
Mail stacks up, I just walk by  
Your mug still stained on the second shelf  
I turned this place into my cell

I don’t leave the house anymore  
Coffee goes cold by the sink  
Curtains closed, shadows on the floor  
Days all blur, I forget to think  
 
I don't trust the world at the door  
I had plans once, now they just fade and bend  
When you left, You took everything with you in the end

I walk past that old blue door  
Count the cracks in the concrete path  
We broke the trust, then we broke much more  
Now I’m wishing I could take it back

Phone face down so it can't light up  
Clock hands move, but I feel stuck  
Friends reach out, I let it ring  
Can't face the news of anything

Phone lights up but I let it ring  
Silence feels safer than the truth  
Pictures stacked in a cardboard thing  
Of a love I lost in my youth

I rehearse the words I should say  
On the bus, in the grocery line      
If we could open this door someday  
Could we mend what we left behind?

Two broken hearts pulled apart at the door  
One turned the handle, one fell to the floor  
I don't leave the house anymore  
I don't trust the world at the door  
We don’t trust the world outside anymore  
And I just want to be in your arms like before  
Two broken hearts, pulled apart at the door

There was a road, there was a map  
Now just this couch, this faded scrap  
I used to talk about next year  
Now every thought just stops right here

I remember your laugh in the kitchen light  
I walk past that old blue door every night  
How do I step past this aching frame?  
How do I stand here and speak my shame?  
I don't trust the world like before  
So I’m still standing at your door
