[Verse 1]
Phone on the floor
Still lit with your name
Unread messages
Frozen in the frame
Your coat on the chair
Keys by the sink
Such a quiet house
Too much time to think
Police at the door
Blue socks in the hall
Someone said “we’re sorry”
Then nothing at all
I scream at the ceiling
But it just stares back
Every “what if” circling
Like birds over black
[Chorus]
You jumped, but we’re the ones falling
Carrying the weight, always free-falling
You left the room
But you stayed in my head
You ended your pain, now we’re crawling
Picking up the glass from your calling
You found the dark
Now we sleep in your bed
After the fall
(after the fall)
[Verse 2]
Your mom doesn’t talk
She folds and unfolds
The same faded sweater
Like it’s made out of hope
Your brother gets quiet
Mid-sentence, mid-breath
Says he hates every mirror
Blames himself for your death
Friends post your picture
Write “wish you were here”
But don’t say your ending
They wash out the fear
Therapist asking
“Tell me how you feel”
I want you to answer
So I know what was real
[Chorus]
You jumped, but we’re the ones falling
Carrying the weight, always free-falling
You left the room
But you stayed in my head
You ended your pain, now we’re crawling
Picking up the glass from your calling
You found the dark
Now we sleep in your bed
After the fall
(after the fall)
[Bridge]
If you could see us shaking
Hands that still reach for your ghost
Would you still chase that ending
Or stay and hurt with us the most
So if your mind starts sinking
And the edge begins to call
Think of every heart you’re breaking
We’re the ones
who bear it all
[Chorus]
You jumped, but we’re the ones falling
Carrying the weight, always free-falling
You left the room
But you stayed in my head
You ended your pain, now we’re crawling
Picking up the glass from your calling
You found the dark
Now we sleep in your bed
After the fall
(after the fall)
