[Verse 1] You said "Don't cry" Wiped the salt from my face Promised me forever Then you vanished from this place Empty coffee on the counter Your coat still on the chair I talk into the silence Like you’re hiding in the air [Chorus] Don't cry She will come back for you That’s what I tell the mirror When it shows me only me Don't cry She will come back for you Maybe pale Maybe colder But her hands will still know me [Verse 2] I leave the window open Curtains breathing in the night One glass on the table Red stain catching every light I walk the streets at midnight Searching every shadow’s shape If love can crawl through graveyards Then time is just a gate [Chorus] Don't cry She will come back for you That’s what I tell the mirror When it shows me only me Don't cry She will come back for you Maybe pale Maybe colder But her hands will still know me [Bridge] If she knocks at my door Long teeth Slow smile (oh) I’ll say "You’re late I’ve been waiting All this while" Let the neighbors draw their curtains Let the sun just have its say If forever has a hunger Let it take me all the way [Chorus] Don't cry She will come back for you I’ll feel her breath beside me Even if it steals the room Don't cry She will come back for you Let her love remake me In the dark Under the moon
