The clock ticked but I didn't move
Watch the light shift on the floor
Your coat hung where it always does
Like you hadn't closed the door
I played that last thing that you said
Like a record I once wore
I thought I'd answer But I never said a word
I stayed too still
while everything turned
Waited for a sign
that never returned
Oh, you were gone
long before I knew
And I stayed too still
to go with you
The coffee cooled beside my hand I never drank a sip
You always noticed quiet things But I let this one slip
I could've asked you not to go But I bit my tongue instead
Oh, I thought you'd feel it
But I guess I misread
I stayed too still
while everything turned
Waited for a sign
that never returned
Oh, you were gone
long before I knew
And I stayed too still
to go with you
If I just moved an inch,
maybe touched your sleeve Would it all
have changed or would you still leave?
I stayed too still where words go to hide
Waited out the silence that grew too wide
Oh, you were gone long before I knew
And I stayed too still to go with you
