Shards of Us

Your coffee cup is still by the sink

I pass it twice before I think

The room remembers how you moved But I don't have to stay

in the groove

I kept the light on way too long Mistook the waiting for

a song Now every quiet sounds like truth And I can hear

myself without you

I’m letting go, letting go tonight

No more turning your goodbye into a sign

You were a fire,

you were a home But I can burn a little brighter on

my own I’m letting go,

even if it hurts Some things end before they get worse I

loved you once, and that was real

But I’m learning how to feel what I feel

Your name still flashes in my phone

I let it fade,

I let it go

The photographs can keep the past

I don't need proof of what didn't last

I used to measure every breath By all the words we never

said Now there's a rhythm

in the room

And it doesn't sound like losing

you

Maybe someday when the city sleeps

I’ll hear your voice inside a dream

But I won’t reach across the dark

I know the difference now between a memory

and a spark

I’m letting go,

letting go tonight

No more turning your goodbye into a sign You were a fire,

you were a home

But I can burn a little brighter on my own I’m letting

go, and now I know The empty space is room to grow

I loved you once,

and that was real Now I’m learning how to feel what I

feel
