Leave a Little Room

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your blue cup by the sink A paper list beneath the keys I read the groceries twice today And bought the things you used to need [Pre-Chorus] The hallway clock is losing time I let it run, I let it lie [Chorus] I’m learning how to leave a little room For mornings that don’t ask me where you’ve gone Your name still catches in the things I do But I can carry on, I can carry on [Verse 2] The corner shop changed hands last week They painted over the old sign I pass the window on my way And don’t look in there every time [Pre-Chorus] Some days are heavy, some pass through I make a little space for new [Chorus] I’m learning how to leave a little room For mornings that don’t ask me where you’ve gone Your name still catches in the things I do But I can carry on, I can carry on [Bridge] Maybe healing isn’t one bright day Maybe it’s the small things put away A spare key, a note, a chair moved round The quiet proof I’m still here now [Final Chorus] I’m learning how to leave a little room For mornings that don’t ask me where you’ve gone Your name still catches, but it loosens too And I can carry on, I can carry on [Outro] The clock is keeping time again I let it ring, I let it ring
