You were leaning in the doorway
Shoes half on
Laughing at the things I said
Then you were gone
All the coffee on the counter
Went cold fast
Should’ve begged you just to stay
I let you pass
I’m a fool
For letting you believe I didn’t need you
For hiding every tremor that could free you
Pushed you from the truth I couldn’t face
I’m a fool
For building up a wall and then I blamed you
For every empty echo when I crave you
Now I’m tracing shadows in your place
I still keep your broken lighter
By my bed
Little silver
Chipped-up corner
Burned in my head
Tried to drown your name in strangers
In cheap wine
But every quiet after midnight
You rewind
I’m a fool
For letting you believe I didn’t need you
For swallowing the words that could complete you
Now they hang like smoke I cannot chase
I’m a fool
For building up a wall and then I caged you
For every quiet morning that erased you
Still I leave a heartbeat in your space
I’m a fool..
