Lyrics

Verse 1

Woke up with your name still on my tongue

Didn't say it out loud

Just let it dissolve like sugar in the rain

The kettle hummed a song I almost knew

Pre-Chorus

And I keep folding up the days

Like sweaters put away for June

Something always left unsaid

Something always leaving soon

Chorus

I am not asking you to come back

I am only asking why

I still set two cups on the counter

Still leave half the window wide

Not asking you to come back

Just wondering if you tried

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, if you tried

Mm, if you tried

Verse 2

Drove past the corner where we used to park

Didn't slow down

But my hands remembered every turn we took

And my chest remembered how

Pre-Chorus

I am growing into someone

Who doesn't check the door

But the quiet is a language

I am still learning to ignore

Chorus

I am not asking you to come back

I am only asking why

I still set two cups on the counter

Still leave half the window wide

Not asking you to come back

Just wondering if you tried

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, if you tried

Mm, if you tried

Bridge

Maybe love is just a habit

Maybe habit is a home

Maybe I have been the architect

Of being on my own

Of being on my own

Chorus

I am not asking you to come back

I am only asking why

I still set two cups on the counter

Still leave half the window wide

Not asking you to come back

Just wondering if you tried

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, if you tried

Mm, if you tried
