The Weight of Every Name (versione 2)

Intro

I've got a coat with threads of every name I never kept

Verse 1

Button's missing from the sleeve

Thread still holds what warmth should leave

Every person who wore this coat

Left a single stitch, no note

Sweat soaked through before it thawed

Someone else's breath I'm holding now

I know their height by how it fits

Not by any name they'd give

Pre-Chorus

Every thread that won't re-sew

Every seam the wind went through

I carry what they left behind

Chorus

This is the weight of every name

Carried like a coat, still warm with shame

Nobody's hands to pass it back

Just me and the shape where they walked

Verse 2

Button's missing now it's mine

Thread keeps stretching past the line

I press my palm against the seam

Feel their pulse inside the dream

Winter wore this coat for years

Every button lost every tear

Some left a name, most just heat

This is all I'm left to hold

Pre-Chorus

Every thread that won't re-sew

Every seam the wind went through

I carry what they left behind

Chorus

This is the weight of every name

Carried like a coat, still warm with shame

Nobody's hands to pass it back

Just me and the shape where they walked

Bridge

If I knew who first pulled this thread

I'd still wear it, not because I'd kept

The name, just the way it wore

Like skin remembers every scar that healed

Chorus

This is the weight of every name

Carried like a coat, still warm with shame

Nobody's hands to pass it back

Just me and the shape where they walked
