The Blue Cup

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your blue cup by the sink A little ring where the water dried I read the note you didn’t sign Then folded it four times [Pre-Chorus] I could call, but I know the sound Of a door that’s already closed So I’m learning the shape of quiet One small room at a time [Chorus] I won’t chase what turned away I won’t bargain with yesterday If your name comes up, I’ll let it pass Like a train beyond the glass I’m still here, and that’s enough Still becoming someone I can trust [Verse 2] Your jacket’s gone from the hallway hook The wall looks brighter than before I found my keys beneath the book And opened every door [Pre-Chorus] There’s a tenderness in starting With no promise in my hands I can miss you without mistaking Missing you for a plan [Chorus] I won’t chase what turned away I won’t bargain with yesterday If your name comes up, I’ll let it pass Like a train beyond the glass I’m still here, and that’s enough Still becoming someone I can trust [Bridge] Maybe love was not a failure Maybe it was just a mile I can carry what it taught me Without carrying your file [Final Chorus] I won’t chase what turned away I won’t bargain with yesterday If your name comes up, I’ll let it pass Like a train beyond the glass I’m still here, and that’s enough Still becoming someone I can trust [Outro] The blue cup’s gone from the sink And morning doesn’t ask me why
