Verse 1

You left your coffee by the window

A pale ring cooling on the wood

I keep the room exactly as you knew it

Though I know I never should

Pre-Chorus

The hallway holds your winter coat

The sleeves still face the door

I tell myself I’m moving on

Then count the steps once more

Chorus

If you come back, come back slowly

I’m still learning how to breathe

There’s a quiet place inside me

That remembers what we couldn’t keep

If you come back, say it plainly

No more promises in blue

I can live with being lonely
