Remnants

Lyrics

[Intro]
Coffee cup in the sink
Morning light, I can't think
(Can't think)
[Verse 1]
Your fingerprints on ceramic
Six weeks since you left
Still washing it daily
Like you might come back
Just soap and water
Trying to hold on to that
[Pre-chorus]
The kitchen feels empty now
But I keep your spot clean
Can't bring myself to move it
From where it's always been
[Chorus]
I still wash your coffee cup
Every single day
Pretending you're just late
Coming home to stay
(Coming home to stay)
[Verse 2]
Morning ritual haunts me
Muscle memory burns
Two spoons in the drawer
One cup that returns
To its lonely corner
Where dust never learns
[Pre-chorus]
The kitchen feels colder now
But I keep your spot clean
Can't bring myself to hide it
Like you've never been
[Bridge]
Maybe if I put it away
The hurt would finally fade
But some part of me still waits
For one more taste of yesterday
[Solo]
[Soft piano and atmospheric synths]
[Chorus]
I still wash your coffee cup
(One last time)
Every single day
(Letting go)
Now I know you won't be late
Time to put it away
(Time to put it away)
