[Verse 1] I left your cup by the sink tonight, cold blue ring where your thumb used to bite. The kettle slept in a bruise-colored room, and your coat still held the shape of the gloom. [Verse 2] Your pills sat neat like a row of teeth, white little moons in a cracked porcelain wreath. I folded your scarf, then I folded my knees, and the house kept breathing through broken trees. [Pre-Chorus] Hush now, hush now, don't wake the floor, it knows your steps, it wants one more. Hush now, hush now, I held the door, but the dark came in with a winter roar. [Chorus] Crush me slow, crush me kind, leave your name burned in my mind. Crush me slow, crush me kind, I still reach for the hands I can't find. [Verse 3] The mirror kept your last tired grin, a thin white crack running right through my skin. I kissed that split like a broken vow, then the room went black and I loved you somehow. [Verse 4] Your chair at the table, your dent in the bed, your silence still leaning against my head. I count every shadow the way I used to breathe, one for the hurt, and one to leave. [Pre-Chorus] Hush now, hush now, don't wake the floor, it knows your steps, it wants one more. Hush now, hush now, I held the door, but the dark came in with a winter roar. [Chorus] Crush me slow, crush me kind, leave your name burned in my mind. Crush me slow, crush me kind, I still reach for the hands I can't find. [Bridge] Then came the break, a hard white seam, your face in the glass like a fevered dream. I screamed in a whisper, I prayed in stone, and the whole world fell through the telephone. [Final Chorus] Crush me slow, crush me kind, leave your name burned in my mind. Crush me slow, crush me kind, I still reach for the hands I can't find. Crush me slow, crush me kind, let the last of your light unwind.
