Three Hundred Twelve Mornings

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Three hundred twelve mornings

She walks to the same room

Smooths the linen flat and white

Fluffs the pillow just so

Then she turns and leaves it warm

For a man who won't come home

Pre-Chorus

No one calls it beautiful

No one sees the grace

She calls it keeping the space

Chorus

She keeps the space

For the girl she used to be

When he was standing in the doorway

Smiling back at her

She keeps the space

Not waiting for a return

Just honoring the version

She's afraid to lose

Verse 2

They tell her move along

They tell her let it go

But grief was never lightning

It's a blanket soft and slow

A quiet kind of anchor

When the world forgets her name

Pre-Chorus

Not a storm that clears

Not a wound that heals

Just a tenderness she feels

Chorus

She keeps the space

For the girl she used to be

When he was standing in the doorway

Smiling back at her

She keeps the space

Not waiting for a return

Just honoring the version

She's afraid to lose

Bridge

Maybe sadness isn't broken

Maybe holding on is whole

Maybe keeping what is missing

Is the only way she knows

Her hands remember something

Her heart still wants to prove

Hook

She keeps the space

She keeps the space

Final Chorus

She keeps the space

For the girl she used to be

When he was standing in the doorway

Smiling back at her

She keeps the space

Not waiting for a return

Just honoring the version

She loved enough to lose
