Lyrics

Intro

Mmm, mmm, oh—

(ah, ah)

Verse

Two plates in the sink, one tooth in the cup

Your jacket on the hook, but you ain't coming up

I trace the hem like it's a map of where we were

Fingers find the cold and I rehearse

All the little lies we told just to stay

All the promises that rusted away

Your voicemail sits like a turned-off song

I press replay and nothing holds on

Pre-chorus

I keep lighting matches in a darkened room

Trying to spark a word, try to wake the truth

But the air is thin, and the light is wrong

I reach out slow, and the hand is gone (gone)

Chorus

Love is gone, love is gone, love is gone, oh-oh

Love is gone, love is gone, love is gone, yeah-yeah

Lo-lo-love is gone (is gone), lo-lo-love is gone (is gone)

Love is gone, love is gone, love is gone

Verse

You left a sweater with the seam still warm

Your keys on the table like a small alarm

Neighbors hum like they don't know how loud it gets

When the room remembers every silhouette

I walk through places where your laugh used to live

Kick the empty corners where we used to give

There's a silence clever enough to move along

And it fills the space where we belonged

Bridge

I tried to bargain with the mirror, tried to trade the pain

Changed my name in the dust, tried to call you back again

But a closed door taught me better than a thousand fights

Sometimes goodbye is small and fierce and quiet in the night

(oh, oh) I fold our pictures, put them in a box of ash

Say your name like a lesson, let it loose, let it pass

Chorus

Love is gone, love is gone, love is gone, oh-oh

Love is gone, love is gone, love is gone, yeah-yeah

Lo-lo-love is gone (is gone), lo-lo-love is gone (is gone)

Love is gone, love is gone, love is gone

Outro

Mmm, mmm, uh-huh, oh—

(la, la, la)
