🩵 Your Blue Cup 🩵

Verse 1

You left your blue cup by the sink

A chipped white moon against the tile

I turn it over when I think

Of how you stayed a little while

Pre-Chorus

I kept the hallway light on low

As if the door might change its mind

I tell myself I'm letting go

Then hear your key inside the night

Chorus

I still reach for you, then stop

With my hand above the empty side

I can say the words out loud

But my voice gives way before the lie

If you're gone, then let me know

Why your name still catches in my throat

I still reach for you, then stop

And stand there holding what we broke

Verse 2

Your coat still hangs behind the door

The sleeve is turned the way you wore

I pass it like a stranger now

Then touch the seam and lose somehow

Pre-Chorus

I practiced being fine all week

It sounded almost true at work

But when the house goes still and deep

Your absence has a shape that hurts

Chorus

I still reach for you, then stop

With my hand above the empty side

I can say the words out loud

But my voice gives way before the lie

If you're gone, then let me know

Why your name still catches in my throat

I still reach for you, then stop

And stand there holding what we broke

Bridge

I don't want the softened story

I don't need a kinder end

I just want the honest morning

Where I don't pretend again

Final Chorus

I still reach for you, then stop

And my whole chest forgets to lie

I can say the words out loud

Then your name comes breaking through the line

If you're gone, then let me know

Why I keep a place for you at home

I still reach for you, then stop

But I don't know how to let you go

Outro

Your blue cup by the sink

I leave it where it is
