You Were One

Текст песни

[Verse 1] Your cup still by the sink I never put it back The room knows your shape In the dark, by the rack I count the quiet beats Where you used to land Now the air feels thin In my open hand [Pre-Chorus] And I, I keep the door unlocked Like you might come home again I say your name to the wall But it just gives me back the wind [Chorus] You were one You were one And now I’m two steps from undone You were one You were one Now every corner says you’re gone You were one (you were one) And I still reach for what was done You were one You were one But the night won’t tell me where you’ve gone [Verse 2] Your jacket on my chair Still holding your smell I trace the empty seam Like a story I can’t tell The mirror keeps my face And leaves out yours I hate how silence grows Behind all my doors [Pre-Chorus] And I, I keep the clock too bright Like it might say something kind But every minute just falls Like a stone I can’t leave behind [Chorus] You were one You were one And now I’m two steps from undone You were one You were one Now every corner says you’re gone You were one (you were one) And I still reach for what was done You were one You were one But the night won’t tell me where you’ve gone [Bridge] If I close my eyes I can almost hear Your laugh in the hall Fading near But the dream lets go When I wake alone And the bed is cold Like a house made of bone [Final Chorus] You were one You were one And now I’m two steps from undone You were one You were one Now every corner says you’re gone You were one (you were one) And I still reach for what was done You were one You were one I keep your shadow like a song
