Breathe Where We Began

Sanoitukset

[Verse 1: Male] Your blue cup sits beside the sink A lipstick crescent on the rim I pour the coffee, watch it cool The morning has your shape in it [Verse 2: Female] I folded up the summer sheets The ones we bought in borrowed time Your key still rests beneath the bowl I pass it every day, then turn [Pre-Chorus: Male and Female] We gave the house our favorite names Now every room forgets them slowly [Chorus: Duet] There’s an empty heart where love once stayed A quiet room that keeps your place I reach for you, then close my hand And learn to breathe where we began [Verse 3: Male] The record stops before the end The needle circling what we were I used to know your every pause Now silence answers in your words [Verse 4: Female] I found your note inside my coat The ink ran thin along the fold It only said, “Be home by ten” Some small goodbyes are hard to hold [Pre-Chorus: Male and Female] We gave the house our favorite names Now every room forgets them slowly [Chorus: Duet] There’s an empty heart where love once stayed A quiet room that keeps your place I reach for you, then close my hand And learn to breathe where we began [Bridge: Female] Maybe time won’t mend the seam Maybe I can let it be [Bridge: Male] I can keep the good we made Without asking you to stay [Final Chorus: Duet] There’s an empty heart where love once stayed But morning finds a little space I reach for you, then let you go And leave the door unlatched for hope [Outro: Duet] The cup is clean, the room is still I’m here, and learning how to fill it
