Prompt:
[Verse 1] You left your jacket on my kitchen chair Rain on the cuffs, your perfume in the air I read the note you folded into four Then set it face-down by the door [Pre-Chorus] I know the shape of your goodbye The careful pause, the practiced eyes But something in me won’t let go Not yet, not tonight, not alone [Chorus] If you’re leaving, leave the key Don’t leave half of you with me I can close the door and breathe I just can’t keep you haunting me If you’re leaving, say it plain Don’t make silence take the blame I would rather lose the truth Than spend another night guessing you [Verse 2] Your coffee cup is cracked along the rim I keep it there, pretending you’ll come in The hallway clock forgets to move And every hour sounds like you [Pre-Chorus] I know the shape of your goodbye The careful pause, the practiced eyes But something in me won’t let go Not yet, not tonight, not alone [Chorus] If you’re leaving, leave the key Don’t leave half of you with me I can close the door and breathe I just can’t keep you haunting me If you’re leaving, say it plain Don’t make silence take the blame I would rather lose the truth Than spend another night guessing you [Bridge] Take the photographs, take the blue coat Take every promise you never wrote I’ll keep the morning when it comes And learn to live with what we’ve done [Final Chorus] If you’re leaving, leave the key Don’t leave half of you with me I can close the door and breathe I just can’t keep you haunting me If you’re leaving, say it plain Don’t make silence take the blame I would rather lose the truth Than spend another night guessing you [Outro] Leave the key Let me breathe
