The Chair Is Clear

Lời bài hát

[Verse 1] You leave your blue jacket on my kitchen chair I move it every morning, find it waiting there You ask me how my day went, I say, “Fine, yours?” We trade the safest answers by the bathroom door [Pre-Chorus] I know the shape of your hand against my back I know the little lies we use to stay intact [Chorus] I’m hoping you’ll be brave enough to say it first That what we had is finished, and it doesn’t have to hurt I could be the villain, you could close the door If you don’t want me anymore Please don’t want me anymore [Verse 2] Your toothbrush leans beside mine in the ceramic cup The kind of tiny promise neither of us picks up You tell me next December we should take a train I picture empty seats and feel a little sane [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired of making homes inside a maybe Tired of calling lonely “just a phase, baby” [Chorus] I’m hoping you’ll be brave enough to say it first That what we had is finished, and it doesn’t have to hurt I could be the villain, you could close the door If you don’t want me anymore Please don’t want me anymore [Bridge] I won’t ask for one more weekend I won’t bargain for a year Just give the truth a place to land And let it disappear [Final Chorus] I’m hoping you’ll be brave enough to say it first That we were good once, even if the ending hurts I’ll pack the blue jacket, leave the key beside the door If you don’t want me anymore Maybe I can want myself some more [Outro] The chair is clear by morning The room can breathe again
