The things you left behind

You left your coat by the front door
Still smells like smoke from the night before
Your coffee mug sits by the sink
Half-full - like the way you'd always think

Keys on the counter, your coat on the floor
It feels like you left, but you wanted more
No note, no goodbye, just silence instead
I'm stuck with your echoes in my head

Your favorite shirt's on the bedroom chair
The one you wore like you didn't care
The clock stopped ticking at half past two
It feels like time just gave up on you

Keys on the counter, your coat on the floor
It feels like you left, but you wanted more
No note, no goodbye, just silence instead
I'm stuck with your echoes in my head

I could pack it up and ship it to wherever you've run
But I think I'll let it sit here, so I never have to move on
Your ghost lives in the details, in the mess you left to find
Every piece, a memory, and a scar you left behind

Keys on the counter, your coat's still there
Every piece of you lingers in the air
No note, no goodbye, just shadows instead
I'm lost in the echoes you left in my head

The coat, the keys, the coffee mug - what do they even mean?
A map to nowhere, leading back to where we've been
You didn't leave a letter, just the things you left behind
And every time I see them now, it's myself I fail to find
