Lyric

Your coat's still on my chair

Rain on the windowpane

You fold your hands so carefully

Like you can hold my name

The clock is just a rumor

The room is all held breath

And every little silence

Feels heavier than depth

I watch your eyes go distant

Then drift back to the floor

Some part of me is reaching

For what we were before

Held by cello

Held by cello

Don't let go yet

Held by cello

The cup leaves rings of amber

Across the polished wood

Your smile is tired gold now

Not broken, just misunderstood

I wear your leaving softly

Like silk against my skin

And every step you're taking

Is where my heart begins

I hear the strings keep turning

Like tides inside my chest

If this is where we're ending

Let it be gently blessed

Held by cello

Held by cello

Don't let go yet

Held by cello

Say my name one more time

Low and slow, like a prayer

Let the dark gather near us

We can linger there

If the door must open

If the dawn must come

Let me keep this tenderness

After you're gone

Held by cello

Held by cello

Don't let go yet

Held by cello

Go on, love

I will stay

In the warmest ache

Of your goodbye today
