Empty Mug Reunion

I found your coffee mug sitting on the counter line

Right where you left it on the morning you were mine

The kitchen clock is ticking,

but the time is standing still

Your presence is in the hallway,

and it always gives me a chill

I still see you dancing

slowly by the door

Now I’m just a stranger standing on a hardwood floor And it's

a cold, sharp heartbreak,

cutting through the dark

Looking at the ashes of what used to be a spark

Every single memory

is playing on repeat

The sound of your laughter,

the rhythm of the street

Right now, the silence is too loud to bear

I'm surrounded by the pieces of a love no longer there

I walked past the cafe

where we spent our Saturdays

The rain was tapping softly

through the early autumn haze

I swear I heard your voice

in the crowded, noisy room

But it was just a memory

in the independent gloom

I still keep your sweater

in the bottom of the drawer

A heavy piece of history I don't wear anymore But seasons have

to shift,

and the rain began to clear

The weight inside my chest started to disappear I finally washed the

mug, I finally moved the chair I opened up the windows just

to let in some fresh air The memories are fading into a

softer shade of grey

And for the very first time,

I think I'll be okay

Yeah, the heartbreak is lifting,

fading in the light

The sun is coming up

and the future's looking bright

I can look at old pictures and smile at the past

I’m finally learning that the storm doesn't last The silence is peaceful,

the air is sweet and clear

I'm putting down the pieces,

and there's nothing left to fear

Nothing left to fear

The sun is finally here

I'm moving on, I'm stepping out,

I'm free

Yeah, the brightest days are waiting for me
