Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Coffee’s gone cold
Her cup still on the shelf
Two chairs in this kitchen
One talking to itself
I stare at that doorway
Like she might walk in
Say “baby, it’s okay”
And touch my shaking hands
[Chorus]
Give me one small reason
To keep breathing in and out
One soft mercy
I can’t live without
If there’s something in this silence
That You’re trying to say
Give me one small reason
So I don’t fade away
[Verse 2]
Her robe on the back hook
Still smells like her hair
I move it a little
Just to prove it’s still there
Sunday came and left me
Alone in our pew
I sang all the right words
But they never felt true
[Chorus]
Give me one small reason
To keep breathing in and out
One soft mercy
I can’t live without
If there’s something in this silence
That You’re trying to say
Give me one small reason
So I don’t fade away
[Bridge]
I ain’t asking for heaven (no)
I ain’t asking for wings
Just a crack in this midnight
Where a little light leaks
If You’re out there listening
To a fool on his knees
Don’t let this house be empty
As the man inside of me
[Chorus]
Give me one small reason
To keep breathing in and out
One soft mercy
I can’t live without
If there’s something in this silence
That You’re trying to say
Give me one small reason
Lord, I’m begging, I’m pleading
Give me one small reason
So I don’t slip away
