[Verse 1]
You said you were staying late at work
I saw your coat beside his in the hall
You kissed my cheek like nothing had changed
Then left your perfume on the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept making room for your excuses
Kept the porch light burning through the rain
Now every promise has a hairline fracture
And I know the shape of your name
[Chorus]
The dark is where the shadows crawl
They find the cracks behind these walls
You held me close, then let me fall
The dark is where the shadows crawl
[Verse 2]
Your silver ring beside the kitchen sink
A little circle left to tell the truth
You said that I was reading too much in
While I was losing sleep for you
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept making room for your excuses
Kept the porch light burning through the rain
Now every promise has a hairline fracture
And I know the shape of your name
[Chorus]
The dark is where the shadows crawl
They find the cracks behind these walls
You held me close, then let me fall
The dark is where the shadows crawl
[Bridge]
I won't ask which night was real
Or what you thought I couldn't feel
Take your key, leave the truth
I can't keep making space for you
[Final Chorus]
The dark is where the shadows crawl
They find the cracks behind these walls
You held me close, then let me fall
The dark is where the shadows crawl
The dark is where the shadows crawl
No more excuses, no more calls
You held me close, then let me fall
The dark is where the shadows crawl
[Outro]
Where the shadows crawl
I won't follow you at all
