After You Left

I kept your mug on the counter
Like it knew your hands
Learned how to eat at the table
With no second plan

I thought I lost my direction
Turns out I lost your reflection

After you left, I learned my name
Said it out loud, it didn't shake
I'm not your half, I'm not your phase
I'm still standing after you left

I changed the way I breathe at night
No waiting on your keys
Built a mirror from the pieces
You never got to see

I'm not rewinding old scenes
I'm writing what's next for me

After you left, I learned my name
Said it out loud, it didn't shake
I'm not your half, I'm not your phase
I'm still standing after you left

If love comes back around
It meets me different now

After you left, I learned my name
Said it out loud, it didn't shake
I'm not your half, I'm not your phase
I'm still standing after you left

This time, I stay
This time, I stay
This time, I stay
