[Intro]
Dust on the shelf, the clock keeps time in grief
A chipped mug glows in morning light, still suspects of belief
[Verse 1]
Coffee stains on the napkin where your name used to lie
A spoon rests in the sink, half-silver, half-sigh
The kettle hums a lonely tune I hum along
Like a carry-on of memories, faint and long
[Pre-Chorus]
I walk past the doorway where your shadow used to stay
Counting small losses like coins I have to weigh
[Chorus]
You left fingerprints on the quiet, where I cannot forget
In every quiet corner, your silence lingers yet
Names fade from the walls, but the objects remember true
And I learn to live with the proof of me and you
[Verse 2]
A sweater on the chair, sleeves still warm with your heat
Buttons hold a whisper of promises we couldn't keep
The scarf by the radiator, tangled threads of our past
I fold them into mornings, hoping dawn would last
[Pre-Chorus]
I breeze through the hall where your laughter used to roam
Collecting shards of us that rarely feel like home
[Chorus]
You left fingerprints on the quiet, where I cannot forget
In every quiet corner, your silence lingers yet
Names fade from the walls, but the objects remember true
And I learn to live with the proof of me and you
[Bridge]
If I could take one thing back, I would choose the time we spoke softly
To unlearn the words that broke us, to mend what’s broken slowly
But paper notes and porcelain hearts know a different art
To stay as witnesses of a love that’s drifted apart
[Chorus]
You left fingerprints on the quiet, where I cannot forget
In every quiet corner, your silence lingers yet
Names fade from the walls, but the objects remember true
And I learn to live with the proof of me and you
[Outro]
So I keep the small, ordinary things, the signs of yesterday
And in their careful keeping, I find a gentler way
