Small Things

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I keep your coffee cup behind the blue one Though I know you won't be coming by Your jacket left a crease across the hallway I pass it like I don't know why [Pre-Chorus] I tell my friends I'm doing better I say it till it almost sounds true Then the house gets quiet around me And every room turns back to you [Chorus] I still reach for you in the small things When the evening settles in I still save the words I meant to tell you Like you'll come and ask again I can let the days move past me I can learn to sleep alone But some part of me keeps leaving A little space for you at home [Verse 2] The rain came through the week you packed your suitcase We stood there with our hands held tight You said that love could still be real and ending I hated how that sounded right [Pre-Chorus] I folded up the life we planned on Put the pictures in a drawer But I still hear your key turn softly When the wind moves by the door [Chorus] I still reach for you in the small things When the evening settles in I still save the words I meant to tell you Like you'll come and ask again I can let the days move past me I can learn to sleep alone But some part of me keeps leaving A little space for you at home [Bridge] Maybe missing you is not a promise Maybe it can just be true I can love the life I'm making And still grieve the life with you I won't ask the past to change now I won't call you back tonight I'll just sit here with the feeling Till it loosens in the light [Final Chorus] I still reach for you in the small things Though the evening's growing thin I still keep the words I never told you But I don't wait to say them again I can let the days move past me I can find my way alone And that space I kept beside me Will be mine to call my own [Outro] Your cup stays with the blue one The jacket's gone from by the door I still miss you in the small things Just a little less than before
