I found your note in the book
By the lamp with the cracked gold shade
Your name still curves in my hand
Like the last time you stayed
The blue mug's chipped on the lip
Your side of the chair sits still
I laugh at the way that it aches
Then I cry against the sill
And I keep the small things safe
Like they might call you back
The toast on the counter
The train in the track
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye, my love
I keep your echo in my blood
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye, my love
Sweet hurt, you never gave enough
Your scarf still smells like rain
When I pull it from the drawer
The photo bent at the edge
Shows us young on the shore
You said time would soften it
But it left a shining scar
Now every room knows your shape
Even after you are far
And I keep the small things safe
Like they might call you back
The toast on the counter
The train in the track
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye, my love
I keep your echo in my blood
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye, my love
Sweet hurt, you never gave enough
If I could turn one night around
I'd hold your hand, not let it go
Say all the words I buried deep
In the breath I never showed
But the door is half-closed now
And the rain keeps making art
On the window where you vanished
On the map of my heart
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye, my love
I keep your echo in my blood
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye, my love
Sweet hurt, you never gave enough
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye, my love
I'll miss you in the way I live
