Lyric

I carried a word for you

Past the final door

It lived behind my teeth

And never became yours

I waited for a moment

The moment did not stay

I should have let it reach you

Before the room went cold

Now every unsaid mercy

Is something I still hold

Your name was on the table

Beside the evening light

I almost broke the silence

Then folded back inside

Some doors close gently

Still they do not open

The sorrow had no witness

It waited in my chest

I wore a quiet face

And failed you with the rest

Not enough

To miss you now

Not enough

To know how

I speak it to the ceiling

Where no one answers back

A little late forgiveness

Falling through the cracks
