Won't You Tell Me That You'll

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your jacket by the kitchen chair Like you were coming back for it I kept the kettle humming in the dark And practiced what I’d say when you walked in [Pre-Chorus] The house is finally quiet No footsteps down the hall I’ve got nothing left to hide now Nothing left at all [Chorus] Won’t you tell me that you’ll stay? Now that he’s not in the way Put your hand back in mine Let the morning take its time Won’t you tell me that you’ll stay? I don’t need another day Waiting for the door to close You’re the only home I know [Verse 2] His photographs are stacked beside the sink I turned them face-down one by one Your name is still written on my phone Underneath a number I should’ve gone [Pre-Chorus] I know it’s late to ask you I know what I put you through But the room feels like a promise When I’m standing next to you [Chorus] Won’t you tell me that you’ll stay? Now that he’s not in the way Put your hand back in mine Let the morning take its time Won’t you tell me that you’ll stay? I don’t need another day Waiting for the door to close You’re the only home I know [Bridge] If you need a little distance I’ll meet you halfway there No more borrowed explanations No more pretending I don’t care [Final Chorus] Won’t you tell me that you’ll stay? Now that he’s not in the way Say it softly, say it plain I won’t run from it again Won’t you tell me that you’ll stay? Let the old life fade away With your hand back in mine We can give it one more try [Outro] Won’t you tell me that you’ll stay? Now that he’s not in the way
