Last Cup On The Counter

Lyrics

Verse 1
Your coat’s on the chair where you left it
Mug by the sink with your lipstick stain
I keep walking past like you’ll grab it
Then I trip on the fact you’re not here again

Chorus
I keep setting one more plate at the table
Still talking like you’re walking through the door
Every quiet in this house feels fatal
Every laugh costs twice what it did before
If love could’ve kept you
You’d be here today
I’m learning how to breathe
Since my mum passed away

Verse 2
Your handwriting’s pinned to the fridge door
“Don’t forget milk” and “call me back”
Funny how the smallest scribbles
Hold together what I lack

Chorus
I keep setting one more plate at the table
Still talking like you’re walking through the door
Every quiet in this house feels fatal
Every laugh costs twice what it did before
If love could’ve kept you
You’d be here today
I’m learning how to breathe
Since my mum passed away

Bridge
I tell your stories so I don’t lose you (mm, I try)
Teach myself it’s fine to cry
Some days I hate the sunrise
For daring to go on
When you’re gone
When you’re gone

Chorus
I keep setting one more plate at the table
Still talking like you’re walking through the door
Every quiet in this house feels fatal
Every smile hides the shaking at the core
If love could’ve kept you
You’d be here today
I’m learning how to live
In this world that stayed
Since my mum passed away
