Carved In Everything

The coffee's cold, the morning's grey, and silence fills the room.
I reach across an empty bed still swimming with perfume.
The clothes you left are folded like you're coming back today,

They’re all a raw reminder of the girl that went away.

I can't erase you, can't replace you, 
Every corner speaks your name. 
I'm standing in the wreckage 
Of a life I can’t reclaim.

You're carved in everything.
I knew right from the start
That you would leave your legacy
Inscribed into my heart. 
I see you in the faces,
Of each stranger passing by.
You're carved in everything:
A love I can’t deny.

I keep the window open like you might still find your way 
Back through the dark and into somewhere close to yesterday. 
The city wears your face on every unfamiliar street. 
I find it staring back in every stranger that I meet.

I can't outrun you, I'm undone now.
Everywhere I see your face.
I keep on searching, keep on longing
For the girl I can't replace.

You're carved in everything.
I knew right from the start
That you would leave your legacy
Inscribed into my heart. 
I see you in the faces,
Of each stranger passing by.
You're carved in everything:
A love I can’t deny.

In every room I walk through,
In every place that I have ever known,
In every empty corner,
Of the house that was once our home,
In every space I linger,
I hear your wounding words again,
And I am left to carry
This cruel and ceaseless pain.

You're carved in everything.
I knew right from the start
That you would leave your legacy
Inscribed into my heart. 
I see you in the faces,
Of each stranger passing by.
You're carved in everything:
A love I can’t deny.
