Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I left the light on for a version of you
That hasn't walked through any door in months
The candle's burning low, the wax runs blue
I'm getting good at living on a hunch
You said you'd call when the city got quiet
But quiet came and went without your voice
I poured a glass, I didn't start a riot
Just sat here making peace with someone's choice

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know the difference now
Between wanting and the wound
I've been carrying the weight of when and how
Like smoke without a room

[Chorus]
Smoke without a room
Nowhere left to hold
I'm drifting through the dark of what we used to know
Smoke without a room
Beautiful and thin
I keep reaching for the shape of what has always been
But it's gone
It's already gone

[Verse 2]
I drove past the place we used to waste our time
The neon's cracked, the sign still reads your name
I told myself it wasn't worth a line
Then wrote it down and felt exactly the same
There's a version of this story where I'm fine
Where I don't check my phone at half past two
But every quiet night draws the same outline
And every outline somehow still looks like you

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know the difference now
Between wanting and the wound
I've been carrying the weight of when and how
Like smoke without a room

[Chorus]
Smoke without a room
Nowhere left to hold
I'm drifting through the dark of what we used to know
Smoke without a room
Beautiful and thin
I keep reaching for the shape of what has always been
But it's gone
It's already gone

[Bridge]
Maybe loss is just love with nowhere to land
Maybe I've been holding air inside an open hand
I don't need an answer, I don't need to understand
I just need the night to stop sounding like your plan
Like your plan
Like your plan

[Chorus]
Smoke without a room
Nowhere left to hold
I'm drifting through the dark of what we used to know
Smoke without a room
Beautiful and thin
I keep reaching for the shape of what has always been
But it's gone

[Outro]
It's already gone
Already gone
Just smoke
Just smoke without a room
