Lyric

Midnight kitchen

Fridge humming like it knows

Bare feet on cold tiles

Your jacket on my chair

I taste goodbye in every swallow

Salt on my tongue

From what you won’t say

Hands almost touch across that table

Close enough to remember

Too far to stay

Taxi waiting

Headlights cutting through the blinds

Your suitcase breathing

Like it’s taking half my lungs

I taste goodbye in every swallow

Salt on my tongue

From what you won’t say

Hands almost touch across that table

Close enough to remember

Too far to stay

Old text messages

Glow blue on shattered glass

You laugh from last year

Echo caught inside my chest

I taste goodbye in every swallow

Salt on my tongue

From what you won’t say

Hands almost touch across that table

Close enough to remember

Too far to stay

Empty pillow

Faint outline where you slept

Alarm keeps ringing

Still I hold the quiet shape you left

If I had turned around faster

If you had slammed the door late

Would it hurt just a little less now

Or carve deeper under this weight

I taste goodbye in every swallow

Salt on my tongue

From what you won’t say

Hands almost touch across that table

Close enough to remember

Too far to stay
