Your Blue Cup

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your blue cup is still beside the sink A little ring of tea dried on the rim I tell myself I’ll move it when I’m ready Then morning comes and I leave it where it’s been [Pre-Chorus] I keep the small things like they might explain Why your name still catches in my throat [Chorus] If I could love you without holding on I’d let the door close, let the day move through But every quiet room still turns toward you And every part of me comes back to you [Verse 2] The plant you brought me leans toward the window I turn it every week the way you showed I’ve learned to make a dinner for one person Still set out two forks before I know [Pre-Chorus] I’m getting good at saying I’m okay Just not when someone asks me what I mean [Chorus] If I could love you without holding on I’d let the door close, let the day move through But every quiet room still turns toward you And every part of me comes back to you [Bridge] Maybe love is not a promise kept Maybe it’s the mercy of release I can wish you well and miss you still I can let you go and grieve in peace [Final Chorus] If I could love you without holding on I’d let the door close, let the day move through And though this quiet room still turns toward you I’m learning how to leave a little room For something new, for something true [Outro] Your blue cup’s still beside the sink Tonight I let it be
