Held in the Hush (Version 2)

Verse

Six p.m. light through the blinds cuts thin

Coats on hooks where yours still hangs

Your scarf on a chair like you're coming back

Radio static in a station I don't know

Windowpane reflects what it's kept

A cup half empty, three days old

Fingers trace the edge, they don't belong here yet

Pre-Chorus

So what do I call this space

Left between us instead of time

Do you still hear my name at nine

Or is this just a borrowed sigh

Chorus

Held in the hush where we used to talk

Nobody's coming but it feels like home

Steam off my coffee, static on the wall

Same old silence, never alone

Verse 2

Sneakers by the door for a walk I won't take

The couch creaks soft from hours you're not here making

A photo cornered behind another book

A laugh that's just a memory, no longer locked

Dinner in the fridge turning grey and cold

Phone says nothing but I still hold

My hand on the window frame, tracing where you leaned

I know this won't stay warm like it used to mean

Pre-Chorus

So what do I call this space

Left between us instead of time

Do you still hear my name at nine

Or is this just a borrowed sigh

Chorus

Held in the hush where we used to talk

Nobody's coming but it feels like home

Steam off my coffee, static on the wall

Same old silence, never alone

Bridge

Maybe I'm not waiting anymore

Maybe it was always this empty floor

No goodbyes, just the clock turning slow

No goodbyes, no one to know

Chorus

Held in the hush where we used to talk

Nobody's coming but it feels like home

Steam off my coffee, static on the wall

Same old silence, never alone
