Stone Beneath My Coat

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the sink A chipped blue cup, a paper ring The hallway clock was running slow I watched the minute hand let go [Pre-Chorus] I kept the words behind my teeth Till they were all I had to keep [Chorus] I won't carry what you broke Like a stone beneath my coat You can take the room, the keys But you can't decide what stays in me I was bent, I wasn't gone I found my feet and carried on [Verse 2] The landlord painted over names But rain still found the window frame Your old coat hung behind the door I gave it to the thrift store [Pre-Chorus] I said your name, then let it pass Like dust beneath a sheet of glass [Chorus] I won't carry what you broke Like a stone beneath my coat You can take the room, the keys But you can't decide what stays in me I was bent, I wasn't gone I found my feet and carried on [Bridge] If I shake, let me shake If I fall, let me land There is more to this life Than the shape of your hands [Final Chorus] I won't carry what you broke Like a stone beneath my coat You can take the room, the keys But you can't decide what stays in me I was bent, I wasn't gone I found my feet and carried on I found my feet and carried on [Outro] Carried on Carried on
