Verse 1

You left your blue mug by the sink

Like you were coming back for it

I watched the water lose its heat

And found a way to call that hope

Your coat is still behind the door

The sleeve is torn beneath the seam

I keep repairing things that end

As if the thread could change the scene

Pre-Chorus

I tell my friends I'm doing fine

Then miss your train at quarter past nine

Chorus

I was the room you hurried through

The almost-home you never knew

You took the good parts when you left

And left me with my second guess
