[Verse 1]
You left your coat on the kitchen chair
Rain on the sleeve, your perfume there
I found your name in the phone’s old thread
A little lie with a careful head
You said the night was just a long drive
But your story changed when I asked why
Now every room keeps a second door
And I don’t know what I’m waiting for
[Pre-Chorus]
You look me in the eye, then look away
I hear the truth in the words you don’t say
[Chorus]
In the dark is where shadows crawl
Where your promises lose their hold
You were mine, then you were someone else
Now I’m learning to let go
In the dark is where shadows crawl
I can feel you slipping through
If you’re gone, then say it plain
Don’t leave me loving you
[Verse 2]
Your keys are still by the blue bowl
I turn them over, then let them go
The neighbor’s dog barks at the hall
Like it knows something I can’t recall
You called me sweet when the room went quiet
Then made me small when the truth got near
I won’t keep a place for a half-made vow
I won’t be the one you come back to now
[Pre-Chorus]
You look me in the eye, then look away
I hear the truth in the words you don’t say
[Chorus]
In the dark is where shadows crawl
Where your promises lose their hold
You were mine, then you were someone else
Now I’m learning to let go
In the dark is where shadows crawl
I can feel you slipping through
If you’re gone, then say it plain
Don’t leave me loving you
[Bridge]
I won’t chase the shape you left behind
I won’t call your silence a sign
Take your coat, take the key, take the lie
I’m done asking you to stay tonight
[Final Chorus]
In the dark is where shadows crawl
Where your promises lose their hold
You were mine, then you were someone else
Now I’m learning to let go
In the dark is where shadows crawl
I can feel you slipping through
If you’re gone, then say it plain
Don’t leave me loving you
[Final Chorus]
In the dark is where shadows crawl
Where your promises lose their hold
You were mine, then you were someone else
Now I’m learning to let go
In the dark is where shadows crawl
I can feel you slipping through
If you’re gone, then say it plain
Don’t leave me loving you
[Outro]
Don’t leave me loving you
Don’t leave me loving you
