Mhm

[Verse 1]
You left the light on, but the door was closed
I waited there, til the fire froze
I heard your laugh through the hallway cracks
It echoed once, then never came back
I held your coat when your hands were cold
You held my name like it got old
You didn’t cry, but your voice went tight
And you turned away… it’s alright
[Verse 2]
I wrote you songs you would never hear
Played 'em low, just to keep you near
You slept through nights I stayed awake
Countin’ each breath your silence would take
I traced your steps down the gravel lane
Each one fading like your name
You stopped loving me without a fight
But you sleep just fine… it’s alright
[Verse 3]
I made my home in your half of the bed
Still talk to you in my own damn head
You took the photo off the wall
Guess memories don’t mean much at all
I kept the mug you used at dawn
The handle cracked but I hold on
If ghosts could speak, they'd beg you write
But you won’t come back… it’s alright
[Verse 4]
And if someday your hands feel worn
If no one calls and the rain feels warm
I hope you think of the boy who stayed
When the love ran thin and the sky turned grey
But don’t you ache, and don’t feel shame
You just forgot how to say my name
I’ll be the man who fades from sight
You were the one… it’s alright
