[Intro] Red thread tied round the handle of the door Your name in the floorboards, mine in the storm [Verse 1] You left your blue coat on the back of my chair Now every room in this house has a winter in there I put your last note in a jar with the keys The paper kept folding itself into wings The hallway stretched long as a county line Your old clock coughed up the wrong damn time I ran through the kitchen, the walls turned to waves And your name kept knocking from under the paint [Pre-Chorus] I tried to outrun what I couldn’t undo Every road bent back to the shape of you [Chorus] Heartbreak, drop like a stone through the floor Your name comes back, I can’t shut the door I break, I bend, but I won’t disappear I carry the hurt, I keep moving from here (Keep moving!) Heartbreak, shake every nail in the frame The whole world tilts when I hear your name I break, I bend, let the old walls fall I walk through the wreckage, still standing tall [Verse 2] A brass moon rolled down the avenue slow Choir in the courthouse singing low, low, low I met my reflection in a cracked shop glass He wore my face but he moved too fast Said, “Boy, that ache is a debt, not a chain” I took that truth like a match to the rain Now the drums in my chest keep a hard-earned pace I face what I lost; I don’t worship the place [Pre-Chorus] I tried to outrun what I couldn’t undo Every road bent back to the shape of you [Chorus] Heartbreak, drop like a stone through the floor Your name comes back, I can’t shut the door I break, I bend, but I won’t disappear I carry the hurt, I keep moving from here (Keep moving!) Heartbreak, shake every nail in the frame The whole world tilts when I hear your name I break, I bend, let the old walls fall I walk through the wreckage, still standing tall [Bridge] At the edge of the map, where the black river turns I set down the letter and watched the ink burn Not you, not the years, not the life we once planned Can take what I built with these two shaking hands [Final Chorus] Heartbreak, drop like a stone through the floor Your name comes back, I can’t shut the door I break, I bend, but I won’t disappear I carry the hurt, I keep moving from here (Still moving!) Heartbreak, shake every nail in the frame The whole world tilts, but I’m more than the pain I break, I bend, let the old walls fall I walk through the wreckage, still standing tall [Outro] Your name fades out from the boards and the stone I leave that door open And walk out alone
