Give Me a Reason

You walk in like it's nothing
Keys on the counter
Shoes by the door
My questions stuck in the hallway

Half-finished coffee shaking
Clock blinking 3:04
You say you're just tired
But your eyes look somewhere else

Give me a reason
I'm fallen
Hanging on words you're not calling
If this is the end then say it straight
Don't let us fade in the silence

Give me a reason
I'm fallen
Down all the stairs that we're crawling
If you're already gone
Don't make me wait
Don't make me beg for the quiet

I scroll through old December
Your scarf on my shoulder
Snow on your lashes
We swore we'd always come home

Now it's cold in the kitchen
Plates still on the table
You laugh at your phone
I laugh like I'm not breaking

Say it's fear
Say it's me
Say the spark slipped out between us
Say it's wrong
Say it's right
Say you tried but you don't feel us

Just don't leave me guessing
In the dark of our apartment
With every word you're not saying
Pulling me farther
