Verse 1

You left your coat beside the door

The rain still clings to its worn sleeve

I kept the kettle on till dawn

As if you'd come back in to leave

Pre-Chorus

I know the words we couldn't say

Still turn beneath my skin

Chorus

If I could hold the moment still

I'd meet your eyes and tell you why

I built these walls with shaking hands

Then watched you walk the other side

And though the years may pull us far

Your name remains where all things start

Verse 2

Your old blue cup is chipped along the rim
