[Verse 1] I kept your mug on the shelf Like that could keep you near Left the porch light burning For a hundred empty nights of fear Your coat still in my closet Your name still on my phone I kept holding on so tightly Like a wound could turn to stone [Pre-Chorus] But the room won't heal for me And my hands are worn out too If I want a life again I have to walk through you [Chorus] Lost love demands acceptance (acceptance) Lost love demands a new first step (new first step) I can miss you and keep moving I can break and still go left Lost love demands acceptance (acceptance) Lost love demands a new first step [Verse 2] I took your photo off the mirror Left a nail mark in the wall Saw my own face there in the glass Lookin' smaller than before, that's all I learned the hardest lesson The one I fought so long That loving you forever Don't mean I stay where I went wrong [Pre-Chorus] So I folded up the old plans Let them rest beneath my bed If I want a future I can't live inside what's dead [Chorus] Lost love demands acceptance (acceptance) Lost love demands a new first step (new first step) I can miss you and keep moving I can break and still go left Lost love demands acceptance (acceptance) Lost love demands a new first step [Bridge] I don't need to hate you I don't need to win I just need to open What I've locked within One foot, then another Through the ache, through the rain I'm not erasing what we were I'm choosing me again [Final Chorus] Lost love demands acceptance (acceptance) Lost love demands a new first step (new first step) I can miss you and keep moving I can break and still go left Lost love demands acceptance (acceptance) Lost love demands a new first step
