Lyrics
[verse]
There's an echo in this house that won't lie still
It moves like water down an empty windowsill
I try to close the door on all we used to be
But the echo always finds its way to me
[chorus]
These aching things I carry, this tender weight inside
I try to set them down but they won't be denied
Through every quiet evening, through every gray goodbye
This aching thing inside me will not die
[verse]
I fold your name into the smallest corner of my mind
I tell myself I'm over it, I tell myself I'm fine
But then a song comes drifting soft across the radio wave
And I'm right back standing at the door you couldn't save
[chorus]
These aching things I carry, this tender weight inside
I try to set them down but they won't be denied
Through every quiet evening, through every gray goodbye
This aching thing inside me will not die
[bridge]
Maybe love was never meant to leave without a trace
Maybe some goodbyes just live inside a face
I'm not asking time to turn and bring you back to me
I'm just asking it to let this feeling finally be free
[chorus]
These aching things I carry, this tender weight inside
I try to set them down but they won't be denied
Through every quiet evening, through every gray goodbye
This aching thing inside me will not die
