[Verse 1]
I boxed your books beside the hall
Kept the chipped blue mug, let the rest fall
On Sunday I changed the sheets
And let the windows breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
There’s still a dent beside my side
But morning doesn’t ask me why

[Chorus]
I’m learning how to live in this house again
To let the quiet be a quiet, not the end
I can miss what we were and still choose what’s next
One small honest breath, then another breath
My heart didn’t break beyond repair
It’s finding room for me in there

[Verse 2]
I took the long way past the diner
Where we split pie and made plans finer
The waitress knew my name
She poured the coffee just the same

[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t turn around to see
If you were where you used to be

[Chorus]
I’m learning how to live in this house again
To let the quiet be a quiet, not the end
I can miss what we were and still choose what’s next
One small honest breath, then another breath
My heart didn’t break beyond repair
It’s finding room for me in there

[Bridge]
No grand goodbye, no perfect line
Just your old key beside the twine
And all the days I thought I’d lost
Coming back without a cost

[Final Chorus]
I’m learning how to live in this house again
I hear my own laugh rising from the kitchen
I can love what we were and still choose what’s next
One bright ordinary day, then another day
My heart didn’t break beyond repair
There’s more of me than sorrow there

[Outro]
The windows open wide
I’m home inside
