I Found the Ground

[Verse 1]
You left the kettle cold and black
The hallway clock forgot to move
I counted every crack in the plaster
Till morning found me in the room

[Pre-Chorus]
I wore the blame like winter clothes
Too heavy to take off alone

[Chorus]
I walked through hell with my eyes open
Past every door I thought was closed
You couldn’t keep me where you broke me
I found the ground and made it home

[Verse 2]
Your last note curled beside the sink
The ink ran blue beneath the tap
I kept the chipped cup that you hated
And set it down without looking back

[Pre-Chorus]
The old hurt knows the shape of me
But it no longer gets the key

[Chorus]
I walked through hell with my eyes open
Past every door I thought was closed
You couldn’t keep me where you broke me
I found the ground and made it home

[Bridge]
No grand forgiveness, no clean slate
Just one more step, then one more day
The lock turns hard, the door gives way
I leave your name outside the frame

[Final Chorus]
I walked through hell with my eyes open
Past every door I thought was closed
You couldn’t keep me where you broke me
I found the ground and made it home
I found the ground
I made it home
