Unfinished Ache

V6

[Verse 1] The landlord left a note beside the door My name was crossed out, nothing more A cardboard box split open in the rain My mother’s cup, the handle snapped again [Verse 2] I sold the coat you gave me in the spring The pawnshop bell still follows everything Your last message waits beneath the date I read it till the letters lose their shape [Pre-Chorus] I used to count the mornings like a debt Now even breathing feels like one more step [Chorus] I have nothing left to hold No warm room, no hand to call I keep sinking through the hours With no strength to rise at all If I vanish from the page Will the silence know my name? There is no small light waiting Only this unfinished ache [Verse 3] The kettle clicks; I cannot make the tea The window keeps returning someone like me I sit on the floor and let the minutes pass A paper moon dissolving in the glass [Bridge] I thought the worst would end when I let go But every door is shut, and every road is snow I cannot promise I will make it through tonight I cannot find the words to ask you to stay [Final Chorus] I have nothing left to hold No warm room, no hand to call I keep sinking through the hours With no strength to rise at all If I vanish from the page Will the silence know my name? There is no small light waiting Only this unfinished ache [Outro] The cup is broken by the door The message stays unread The morning comes without a sound And I am still here, barely here
