Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Coffee's gone cold on the counter

Your mug's still stainin' the stone

There’s a dent in your side of the mattress

I still sleep there alone

I talk to your coat on the hanger

Ask if you’re comin' back home

But it just sways on its wire

Like it don't wanna know

[Chorus]

Give me one small reason to keep goin'

One weak flame I can hold in this dark

I'm countin' these cracks in the ceiling

Like prayers that fell apart

If you're out there hearin' me tremble

If you still remember my name

Give me one small reason to keep goin'

'Cause I'm drownin' in this quiet and shame

[Verse 2]

Your boots by the door gather dust now

Still turned the way you walked away

I trace every scuff with my finger

Like maybe you'll turn back someday

My friends say "you're stronger than heartbreak"

I fake up a brave little grin

But the moment this porch light is empty

That silence comes crashin' back in

[Chorus]

Give me one small reason to keep goin'

One weak flame I can hold in this dark

I'm countin' these cracks in the ceiling

Like prayers that fell apart

If you're out there hearin' me tremble

If you still remember my name

Give me one small reason to keep goin'

'Cause I'm drownin' in this quiet and shame

[Bridge]

Did I love you right

Or just hold too tight

Did I miss some sign on the way

Now I'm breathin' air

But it's empty air

And I don't know how to stay

[Chorus]

So give me one small reason to keep goin'

One weak flame I can guard with these hands

I'm standin' out here in the doorway

Still waitin' where your shadow once ran

If there's mercy left in the mornin'

If there's somethin' more than this pain

Give me one small reason to keep goin'

Or I'll lay down in this silence again
