Your mug still marks the table
Tea ring on the wood
I traced it with my finger
Like I could fix what I should
Your coat hangs by the doorway
Still smelling like the rain
I fold my hands together
Then I let them fall again
I keep the door half-open
I keep the volume low
I keep that little silence
Where your voice used to go
Splintered calm, splintered calm
I hold it in my palm
Splintered calm, splintered calm
Sweet and sharp and warm (splintered calm)
I say your name, then stop
I say your name, then stop
The sink is full of echoes
The plate I never moved
A crack runs through the window
Just like the night broke through
I try to make a moment
Stay still long enough to breathe
But every quiet corner
Has your shape inside of me
I keep the door half-open
I keep the volume low
I keep that little silence
Where your voice used to go
Splintered calm, splintered calm
I hold it in my palm
Splintered calm, splintered calm
Sweet and sharp and warm (splintered calm)
I say your name, then stop
I say your name, then stop
If I laugh, it shakes
If I cry, it shows
If I stay too still
Everything you left me knows
Splintered calm, splintered calm
I hold it in my palm
Splintered calm, splintered calm
Sweet and sharp and warm (splintered calm)
I say your name, then stop
I say your name, then stop
