The Rest of Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your coat on the kitchen chair A silver key still caught in the tear I traced the shape of the life we made Then watched the morning take it away [Pre-Chorus] I keep the door unlocked I keep the old clock stopped But every room knows You are gone [Chorus] If I fall, let the silence find me If I break, let the pieces shine I was yours in the dark between us Now I’m learning to become mine Through the weight, through the undertow Through the nights I could barely breathe I will carry the scar like a promise You don’t get the rest of me [Verse 2] Your photograph faces the window still Dust on the frame, but the eyes look real I hear your voice in the plumbing hum Then remember all that we didn’t become [Pre-Chorus] I keep the door unlocked I keep the old clock stopped But every room knows You are gone [Chorus] If I fall, let the silence find me If I break, let the pieces shine I was yours in the dark between us Now I’m learning to become mine Through the weight, through the undertow Through the nights I could barely breathe I will carry the scar like a promise You don’t get the rest of me [Bridge] No more waiting by the telephone No more turning your absence into home I can love what we were Without living there I can step through the doorway And leave the air [Final Chorus] If I fall, let the silence find me If I break, let the pieces shine I was yours in the dark between us Now I’m finally becoming mine Through the weight, through the undertow Through the years that tried to bury me I will carry the scar like a promise You don’t get the rest of me [Outro] The key is cold in my open hand I turn it once, then I understand
