Lyrics

Intro

(spoken softly)

I still set two cups out

Mm

Verse 1

Your coat hangs by the door

I haven't moved it yet

It smells like winter air

And everything I said

The kitchen keeps your chair

I dust it every week

Some habits hold me here

Some silence learns to speak

Verse 2

I wore your flannel shirt

The sleeves too long for me

I laughed into the collar

Then I couldn't breathe

My mother says move on

I nod and pour the tea

The window holds your shape

Where you used to be

Pre-Chorus

And I am still learning

I am still learning your name

In every room I say it

In every room the same

Chorus

I loved you like a season

I loved you like a storm

I loved you with my whole chest

Now I'm learning to be warm

I loved you in the morning

I loved you in the dark

I loved you like a promise

That outlived the spark

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, I loved you

Oh-oh, I loved you

Verse 3

I found your handwriting

Inside a library book

A grocery list from June

A number that you took

I traced it with my finger

The ink had gone so faint

Grief is just a garden

That grows around a saint

Pre-Chorus

And I am still learning

I am still learning your voice

In every quiet corner

I still don't have a choice

Chorus

I loved you like a season

I loved you like a storm

I loved you with my whole chest

Now I'm learning to be warm

I loved you in the morning

I loved you in the dark

I loved you like a promise

That outlived the spark

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, I loved you

Oh-oh, I loved you

Bridge

Maybe I'll be okay

Maybe I'll be okay

Maybe I'll grow a garden

And let the winter stay

Chorus

I loved you like a season

I loved you like a storm

I loved you with my whole chest

And I'm learning to be warm

I loved you in the morning

I loved you in the dark

I loved you like a promise

That outlived the spark

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, I loved you

Oh-oh, I loved you

Outro

(spoken softly)

I'll leave the cup out

Just in case
