Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Coffee on the counter
Going cold between my hands
Quiet in the hallway
Like it’s holding back a rant
Your jacket on the chair still
Phone face-down
3 a.m
I practice what I’d say
Then forget it all again
[Pre-Chorus]
Streetlight through the blinds
Cuts the room in gold and gray
Half of me is leaving
Half of me just wants to stay
[Chorus]
Midnight windows
Show me every life I’ll never know
But I still see you
In the glass
In the passing glow
If this is the ending
Let it end on something true
Midnight windows
And I’m still reaching out to you
[Verse 2]
Talking to your shadow
On the paint above our bed
Answering the questions
That you never really said
I’m learning how to breathe
On the side where you’re not there
Folding all the memories
Like I’m stacking empty chairs
[Pre-Chorus]
I replay what we were
On a loop I can’t erase
Every quiet promise
Floating in this crowded space
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Maybe we were meant
To break and bend
Not stay the same
Maybe all this distance
Is just room to say your name
If morning finds me softer
I’ll thank the night for what it stole
It took the easy comfort
Left the part that makes me whole
[Chorus]
Coffee on the counter
Going cold between my hands
Quiet in the hallway
Like it’s holding back a rant
Your jacket on the chair still
Phone face-down
3 a.m
I practice what I’d say
Then forget it all again
[Pre-Chorus]
Streetlight through the blinds
Cuts the room in gold and gray
Half of me is leaving
Half of me just wants to stay
[Chorus]
Midnight windows
Show me every life I’ll never know
But I still see you
In the glass
In the passing glow
If this is the ending
Let it end on something true
Midnight windows
And I’m still reaching out to you
[Verse 2]
Talking to your shadow
On the paint above our bed
Answering the questions
That you never really said
I’m learning how to breathe
On the side where you’re not there
Folding all the memories
Like I’m stacking empty chairs
[Pre-Chorus]
I replay what we were
On a loop I can’t erase
Every quiet promise
Floating in this crowded space
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Maybe we were meant
To break and bend
Not stay the same
Maybe all this distance
Is just room to say your name
If morning finds me softer
I’ll thank the night for what it stole
It took the easy comfort
Left the part that makes me whole
[Chorus]
