Last Light in the Room

[Verse 1]
Coffee’s gone cold on the table
Your chair’s still turned my way
Dust in the air like snowfall
Catching things I never say

Photo frame face-down on the carpet
Ring-shaped mark on your nightstand
I trace old cracks in the ceiling
Like a map of where we ran

[Chorus]
You were the last light in the room
Burning soft
Burning through my excuses
Every tired
Stubborn wound
You tried to hold what I kept losing
If I could turn this evening back to noon
Would you still be the last light in the room

[Verse 2]
Your sweater still hangs by the doorway
Sleeve twisted up in a knot
Like the words I saved for later
Till “later” was all we got

I hear your key in the silence
Every night
Same quiet lie
I practiced “sorry” for years now
Still can’t fit it in one try

[Chorus]
You were the last light in the room
Burning soft
Burning through my excuses
Every tired
Stubborn wound
You tried to hold what I kept losing
If I could turn this evening back to noon
Would you still be the last light in the room

[Bridge]
If you come back
Don’t say a word (mm)
Let the floorboards speak first
Let the old house breathe
I’ll take my blame like a thirst

Turn on that small lamp by the window
The one you always left for me
I’ll walk through every shadow I built
To fall down at your feet

[Chorus]
You were the last light in the room
Burning soft
Burning through my excuses
Every tired
Stubborn wound
You tried to hold what I kept losing
If I could turn this evening back to noon
I’d learn to bend before I broke in two
Stay in the doorway till you pulled me through
Be worthy of the last light in the room
