📝Lyrics:
I memorized the way you take your coffee
Learned which silences meant you were hurting
Held your hand through every doubt and fear
While you looked past me like I wasn't here
I gave you mornings wrapped in quiet patience
Nights where I became whatever you needed
But loving you felt like shouting at the ocean
Waiting for the waves to finally hear me

I kept pouring from an empty cup
Thinking maybe I just wasn't enough
But somewhere between your maybe and never
I forgot I deserved better
I was drowning trying to be your lighthouse
Breaking myself to keep your world from falling down
When did I become so small
That I couldn't see I gave you all

There's a photo where I'm smiling at the camera
You're looking somewhere just beyond the frame
I think I knew it then but couldn't name it
The way you held me close but stayed away
I made excuses that you called poetry
Turned your indifference into mystery
Convinced myself that love was supposed to hurt this much
That wanting you to stay was always going to be too much

I kept pouring from an empty cup
Thinking maybe I just wasn't enough
But somewhere between your maybe and never
I forgot I deserved better
I was drowning trying to be your lighthouse
Breaking myself to keep your world from falling down
When did I become so small
That I couldn't see I gave you all

And I wonder if you think of me at all
Or if I was just another place to fall
I hope somebody loves you the way I did
And I hope they know when to let go
[piano alone]
Something I never learned until you left

I kept pouring from an empty cup
God, I swear I thought I wasn't enough
But losing you meant finding something better
A version of myself I'd forgotten forever
I was drowning trying to be your lighthouse
Gave you everything while I was burning out
Now I'm learning to stand tall
And see that giving all of me
Was always enough
Even if you couldn't see

I take my coffee different now
The silence doesn't scare me anymore
And sometimes I still reach across the bed
But I'm learning how to fill that space instead
