Love in a Minor Key

You changed the color of the room

Without touching the light

Your dress still hangs in shadow

Like it knows more than me

I hear your name in places

Where no sound should ever be

Love used to feel like morning

Now it bends when it sings

This is love in a minor key

Beautiful, but hard to breathe

Every note comes back to me

Like a ghost I still believe

You were sweet, you were strange

You were mercy, you were pain

Now my heart can only sing

Love in a minor key

The hallway feels like water

I move but I don’t leave

Your memory turns the silence

Into something underneath

I don’t know if I’m healing

Or just learning how to ache

This is love in a minor key

Beautiful, but hard to breathe

Every note comes back to me

Like a ghost I still believe

You were sweet, you were strange

You were mercy, you were pain

Now my heart can only sing

Love in a minor key

You changed the color of the room

Without touching the light
