YIELD

Verse 1

I kept your number like a loaded gun

Never called, just stared at it

Funny how a name can weigh a ton

When you're trying hard to forget

Your coffee cup is still up in the cabinet

I don't know why I never threw it out

Some things don't hurt until you're past them

Then they find a way back around

Pre-Chorus

I used to think love meant holding on

Even when my hands went numb

Now I'm standing in the wreckage

Trying to learn what letting go becomes

Chorus

So I yield

I give the night back to the morning

I give your ghost back to the hall

I spent so long trying to save us

I forgot I was drowning at all

And I feel

Every word I never told you

Every door I couldn't close

Maybe losing you ain't losing

Maybe it's the first time I chose

To let you go

Verse 2

I saw your mother at the grocery store

She asked if I was doing fine

I lied so quickly I surprised myself

Guess I've gotten good at that line

She said you moved across the city

Got a little place above a bar

I smiled like that was good news

Then cried before I made it to my car

I hate that part of me still wonders

If you ever pull my name up too

If there's some stupid little song at 2 AM

That still sounds like me to you

Pre-Chorus

I wanted you to come back sorry

Wanted you to knock against my door

But revenge gets pretty lonely

When you don't know what you're waiting for

Chorus

So I yield

I give the night back to the morning

I give your ghost back to the hall

I spent so long trying to save us

I forgot I was drowning at all

And I feel

Every word I never told you

Every door I couldn't close

Maybe losing you ain't losing

Maybe it's the first time I chose

To let you
