[Intro]
They say, give it time
Like time knows your name
Like clocks can unlearn
The sound of the rain

[Verse 1]
My friends crowd the kitchen
With wine and advice
They cover my silence
With soft little lies
They say I look stronger
They say I'll move on
But they never saw you
At three in the dawn

[Pre-Chorus]
You held all my weather
In both of your hands
They call it a chapter
They don't understand

[Chorus]
Time won't know where you kissed me
Time won't sleep in your shirt
Time won't drive past your old street
And feel the whole city hurt
They say wounds turn to stories
They say hearts learn to mend
But they don't know the way we were
They don't know what had to end

[Verse 2]
I still set the table
For ghosts out of habit
Your coffee cup waits
Like my heart cannot pack it
I laugh when I'm supposed to
I nod and I breathe
But under my sweater
I'm coming apart at the seams

[Pre-Chorus]
They say you were careless
They say I was blind
But nobody watched us
When love still was kind

[Chorus]
Time won't know where you kissed me
Time won't sleep in your shirt
Time won't drive past your old street
And feel the whole city hurt
They say wounds turn to stories
They say hearts learn to mend
But they don't know the way we were
They don't know what had to end

[Bridge]
Maybe someday I'll wake up
And not reach for your side
Maybe your name will be quiet
Not a match in my mind
But don't tell me it's simple
Don't say it's just pain
You were my safest window
And my hardest rain

[Chorus]
Time won't know where you kissed me
Time won't sleep in your shirt
Time won't make our last summer
Mean less than it's worth
They say wounds turn to stories
They say hearts learn to mend
But they don't know the way we were
They don't know what had to end

[Outro]
So I smile when they tell me
That time will be kind
But time didn't love you
And time isn't mine
The room keeps on turning
The night won't pretend
They don't know the way we were
They don't know what had to end
