Everybody Leaves Eventually

Your coffee cup is still here Though you left three months ago

There’s a dent beside the pillow That I still don’t want to

know

I keep finding little pieces Of a life we used to share

Funny how an empty room

Can still feel like you’re there

Everybody leaves eventually That’s what everybody says

But nobody tells you how to sleep With memories in your bed

Everybody leaves eventually

Maybe that’s the price

Of letting somebody get so close You can see yourself in their

eyes

I don’t blame you for the leaving

I don’t blame myself for staying

Some goodbyes aren’t anybody’s fault They’re just words nobody’s saying And I

hope you’re somewhere happy

I hope somebody knows your heart

I hope you found the kind of peace I couldn’t give you

at the start

If I could hold you one more time I wouldn’t ask you

to stay

I’d just say thank you

For the years you gave away

Everybody leaves eventually

I finally understand

Some people aren’t forever They’re a beautiful part of who you are

Everybody leaves

eventually

But love doesn’t disappear Sometimes it just becomes

A quieter kind of here

A quieter kind of here (hmmm)
