Paper Cup Rain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I left your key on the tray Next to the bills and ash Your blue scarf on the chair Still folded like the past The kettle clicks for no one The sink just keeps on drip I keep my phone face down Like it might say your name [Pre-Chorus] And I act okay When the door shuts slow But the house gets loud Where you used to go [Chorus] It hurts in the quiet It hurts when I breathe Your name in my pocket Still weighs on me It hurts in the quiet It hurts like the rain I smile for a minute Then break again [Verse 2] Your mug has a hairline crack From that day on the floor I keep reaching for your laugh At the edge of the door The plant by the window Still leans where you passed Even the little things Know you’re not coming back [Pre-Chorus] And I act okay When the lights go low But the house gets loud Where you used to go [Chorus] It hurts in the quiet It hurts when I breathe Your name in my pocket Still weighs on me It hurts in the quiet It hurts like the rain I smile for a minute Then break again [Bridge] If I call your number I know what I’ll hear Just the empty ring Filling up the year So I let it fade Let the dark come in And I hold this ache Like a way to begin [Chorus] It hurts in the quiet It hurts when I breathe Your name in my pocket Still weighs on me It hurts in the quiet It hurts like the rain I smile for a minute Then break again
