Verse 1: Male

You left your jacket on the chair

A receipt curled inside the seam

I read the date, then read it twice

Like ink could tell me what you mean

Verse 2: Female

Your key still catches in the lock

I turn it slow, then let it fall

You say the silence keeps us safe

But silence never said at all

Pre-Chorus: Both

We keep a tally on the kitchen wall

Small black marks for every time we stalled

Chorus: Both, harmony

Bad days don’t break us clean in two

They leave a little dust on everything we knew

You pull away, I pull you through
