Letting Go

Lyrics

You left a note on the side Folded once, then left behind I still read the final line Like the words will change their mind Paper cups out in the hall One still wearing your name Then I hear the hallway floor And I turn to look again Say it straight Don't look away If you're leaving Leave today My hands shake The phone stays clear And this old house Talks after dark Don't leave me on hold Don't fade into the tone Either stay for one more song Or tell me that you're gone I can take the truth I just need to know Either stay for one more song Or let me go Your coat is hanging on the chair Still carrying the rain Blue thread hanging from the cuff Beside a coffee stain I tried to box the whole thing up Tried to clear the room But your keys inside the bowl Kept pulling me to you Say it straight Don't make me guess If it's over Say it's over My throat burns From all the words I keep holding Under my tongue Don't leave me on hold Don't fade into the tone Either stay for one more song Or tell me that you're gone I can take the truth I just need to know Either stay for one more song Or let me go If you come back, I'll be here Same small light, same worn-out chair If you don't, I'll learn to sleep Without your shadow next to me Maybe love is knowing when Not to call your name again Maybe silence isn't hope Maybe silence lets you go You left me on hold Till your voice became a ghost I would've stayed for one more song But now the song is over I can take the truth Even spoken low You don't have to stay tonight I'm learning to let go No more waiting on hold No more waiting on hold
