[Verse 1]
Her cup still on the shelf
Blue ring on the sink
I still set two plates
Then forget to think
Your scarf on the chair
Smells like rain and soap
I hear your nails on wood
When the house gets low
They say time heals things
Man, that’s cheap talk
I got your shape in the hall
When the wind knocks soft
I talk to the frames
Like you might answer back
But the rooms stay plain
And the shadows stay black
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep hearing you
At the end of the stairs
I keep turning fast
To an empty air
If I say your name
Do you lean in close?
Or am I just the one
That the sorrow chose?
[Chorus]
You won’t leave me
You won’t leave me
You sleep in the walls
And you won’t leave me
You won’t leave me
You won’t leave me
I lock every door
But you won’t leave me
[Verse 2]
I seen your dress move
On a still, still night
No one in the room
But the lamp was bright
The window shook once
Like a hand on glass
I froze in the dark
Let the moment pass
Your ring in the drawer
Turns cold in my palm
I swear the whole house
Hums your old calm
Sometimes I hate this place
For keeping you near
Sometimes I need that ache
Just to know you’re here
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep hearing you
At the end of the stairs
I keep turning fast
To an empty air
If I say your name
Do you lean in close?
Or am I just the one
That the sorrow chose?
[Chorus]
You won’t leave me
You won’t leave me
You sleep in the walls
And you won’t leave me
You won’t leave me
You won’t leave me
I lock every door
But you won’t leave me
[Bridge]
Last winter, you laughed
At the cracked front step
Now the frost comes in
Where your breath once slept
I tried new sheets
Tried a new routine
Still your shadow sits
At the edge of me
If heaven got a phone
Would you call me back?
Or just stay behind
In the same old black?
[Final Chorus]
You won’t leave me
You won’t leave me
You sleep in the walls
And you won’t leave me
You won’t leave me
You won’t leave me
I call your name out
And you won’t leave me
You won’t leave me
You won’t leave me
Till this house goes down
You won’t leave me
