Your suitcase
by the door
Coffee gone cold on the floor
You say it's just some time
I hear a closing line
My hands shake
on your fraying sleeve If this
is how
it breaks
Give me one last thing to
believe
Hold me tight before you leave
Press your promise into me Let
your heartbeat spell my name So
when you're gone,
it hurts the same Hold me
tight before you go Crush the
air out of my hope If
you're walking out,
don't make it clean Hold me
tight before you leave
Your eyes
keep finding ground
Like every truth is too loud
You kiss my forehead slow Already
half a ghost
Say you'll come,
say you'll try
I can taste
the little lies
Just don't turn away tonight
Hold me tight before you leave
Press your promise into me Let
your heartbeat spell my name So
when you're gone,
it hurts the same Hold me
tight before you go Crush the
air out of my hope If
you're walking out,
don't make it clean Hold me
tight before you leave Break me,
don't fake me Tear,
don't erase me
Oh, I'd rather drown in what
we were Than drift
in weeping Hold me tight before
you leave Bury all your warmth
in me Let your silence say
it's done While your arms refuse
to run Hold me tight before
you go One last lie against
my throat If you're walking out,
don't make it clean Hold me
tight before you leave
