Your hoodie on my chair
Still holds your lemon soap
I trace the seam by hand
Like it might help me cope

The mug you chipped in June
Still sits by the sink
I hate how every little thing
Makes me stop and think

You said don't make a shrine
Out of the things we missed
But I keep one for your laugh
And one for your kiss

I keep your name in my chest
I keep your name in my chest
It pulls me back when I sleep
It pulls me back when I sleep

If love was just a bruise
I'd still wear it for you
I keep your name in my chest
I keep your name in my chest

You left a thrift-store ring
On the nightstand edge
It catches afternoon
Like a promise that won't bend

I tried to date the dark
Tried to dress it up
But every road I walked
Led straight back to us

You said don't make a shrine
Out of the things we missed
But I keep one for your laugh
And one for your kiss

I keep your name in my chest
I keep your name in my chest
It pulls me back when I sleep
It pulls me back when I sleep

If love was just a bruise
I'd still wear it for you
I keep your name in my chest
I keep your name in my chest

If you call, I'll answer slow
If you don't, I'll learn
To let the porch light fade
And let the small stuff burn

But I swear your hand in mine
Still fits like it did then
Like the world could fold in half
And start us up again

I keep your name in my chest
I keep your name in my chest
It pulls me back when I sleep
It pulls me back when I sleep

If love was just a bruise
I'd still wear it for you
I keep your name in my chest
I keep your name in my chest

I keep your name in my chest
