Lyrics

I still set your cup down by the kettle Still fold your shirt and smooth the sleeve There’s a ghost in the hallway humming gentle And dust where you used to breathe The house ain’t loud, but it ain’t quiet It creaks with everything unsaid Every light I leave on’s a riot A war with knowing you’re really dead The calendar’s still stuck on April Your coat still hangs by the door I write to you at the kitchen table Then burn the note right on the floor So I talk to the air Like you're still there Pretend your voice might answer me If love was enough You’d still wake up And laugh at how I grieve But there’s dust now... Where you used to breathe I dreamt you sat down in your old chair Didn’t say a thing — just smiled And I wept like a damn fool sitting right there Like a motherless child So I talk to the air Like you're still there Pretend your voice might answer me If love was enough You’d still wake up And laugh at how I grieve But there’s dust now... Where you used to breathe I’ll keep the house warm, keep the door wide Keep your name safe on my tongue They say grief gets lighter in the daylight But mine’s only just begun...
