Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I left a map in your hands
You read it like a stain
I knew the shape of this ache
Long before I changed
You kept a chair by the door
Like I’d be back by dawn
But I was already fading
By the time you held on
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw it in your eyes
The empty afterglow
You’d call my name out once
Then let the silence grow
[Chorus]
I knew you would still be left wanting
Still be left wanting
After I’m gone
After I’m gone
I knew you would still be left wanting
Still be left wanting
You’re holding on
To what is gone
[Verse 2]
You touched the glass on the shelf
Where my name used to live
Found a little cold in the room
That I couldn’t give
I wore my goodbye like gold
Right under your skin
You thought that love could stay
Where the edges wear thin
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw it in your eyes
The empty afterglow
You’d call my name out once
Then let the silence grow
[Chorus]
I knew you would still be left wanting
Still be left wanting
After I’m gone
After I’m gone
I knew you would still be left wanting
Still be left wanting
You’re holding on
To what is gone
[Bridge]
Even long after I am gone
You’ll feel my shape in the dark
(Still wanting)
Even long after I am gone
You’ll hear me knock on your heart
(Still wanting)
[Final Chorus]
I knew you would still be left wanting
Still be left wanting
After I’m gone
After I’m gone
I knew you would still be left wanting
Still be left wanting
You’re holding on
To what is gone
I knew you would still be left wanting
Still be left wanting
Even long after
I am gone
