Coffee after midnight
Cold rain on the glass
I still keep the light on
For a love that doesn' t ask
There' s a chair across the table
Where you used to leave your coat
I don't talk about you often
But I write what I don't show
There' s a song inside the kitchen
Playing softer than before
I can hear the kettle breathing
Like it' s waiting by the door
I'm not lonely every evening
I don' t break at every sound
But some memories move quietly
When the city settles down
Coffee after midnight
I don' t sleep, I just pretend
I don't want to call you
I just miss who we were then
Coffee after midnight
Bitter on my tongue
I got older in the silence
But a part of me stayed young
I saw your face in a window
Not your face, but something close
Just a stranger with your shoulders
And the way you wore your coat
It was over in a second
But it followed me for blocks
Funny how a heart remembers
What the mind already lost
I can laugh when friends are laughing
I can say I' m doing fine
But the room gets kind of hollow
When the clock forgets the time
Coffee after midnight
I don't sleep, I just pretend
I don' t want to call you
I just miss who we were then
Coffee after midnight
Bitter on my tongue
I got older in the silence
But a part of me stayed young
Maybe we were never broken
Maybe we were just too small
Trying to hold a whole forever
In a room with paper walls
Maybe you were not the ending
Maybe I was not the same
Maybe love can leave so gently
You still whisper its name
Coffee after midnight
I don' t sleep, I just pretend
I don't want to call you
I just miss who we were then
Coffee after midnight
Bitter on my tongue
I got older in the silence
But a part of me stayed young
Coffee after midnight
Cold rain on the glass
I still keep the light on
For a love that doesn' t ask
