Espresso Morning Loneliness

(Verse 1)

The steam is rising in a quiet swirl

Against a grey and heavy morning world

I made enough for two, like I always do

Before I remembered there isn't a"you"

The kitchen's freezing and the radio's dead

Just the echo of the things you said.

(Pre-Chorus)

It’s a bitter brew, it’s a dark roast sky

And I’m staring at the places where our shadows lie

One cup is full, and the other is dry

Just like the"hello" that turned to"goodbye."

(Chorus)

It’s an espresso morning loneliness

Waking up to find I’m a beautiful mess

A little bit of heat, a whole lot of cold

Holding onto stories that were never told

The caffeine hits but my heart stays slow

Watching the steam and the memories go

Just me and the bitter, I guess

In this espresso morning loneliness.

(Verse 2)

I’m tracing circles on the counter wood

Trying to be"fine" like I said I would

But the smell of the beans is a trigger, it’s a trap

Bringing back the mornings you would sit in my lap

Now the only thing stirring is the silver spoon

And the sun is a ghost that’ll be gone by noon.

(Chorus)

It’s an espresso morning loneliness

Waking up to find I’m a beautiful mess

A little bit of heat, a whole lot of cold

Holding onto stories that were never told

The caffeine hits but my heart stays slow

Watching the steam and the memories go

Just me and the bitter, I guess

In this espresso morning loneliness.

(Bridge)

No sugar can fix it, no cream can disguise

The look of the"empty" that lives in my eyes

I’m drinking the dark just to feel something real

Waiting for the numbness to finally heal.

(Chorus)

Yeah, it’s an espresso morning loneliness

Caught in the middle of a"no" and a"yes"

A little bit of heat, a whole lot of cold

The heaviest weight that a hand can hold

The caffeine hits but my heart stays slow

I’m letting the steam and the memories go

Just me and the bitter, I guess

In this espresso morning loneliness.

(Outro)

Bottom of the cup...

Sun is coming up...

But I’m still cold.

Just the bitter.
