I still set a place for you at my table
Each night
Fork to the left
Glass to the right
The candle burns
The chest stays bare
But in my mind
Baby, you're still there
I stir the coffee for it slow
Wait for steps I already know won't
Show
They say love fades
Maybe that's true
But not when it ever burn like you

I
I still set a place
For you
Still hold the song you used to do
I wear your ghost like Sundays
I close my eyes, still see your face
You walked away but never through
'Cause baby I
Still set a place for you

I fold the sheet just how you like
Leave your side untouched each night
Your shirt's still hanging on the door
Like it's waiting for you just once more
My lipstick's faded
But I paint it on
Like you might knock
Just before the dawn
A foolish hope
I can't undo
'Cause I still love the worst
Of you

I
I still set a place
For you
Still home the song used to do
I wear your ghost like Sunday lace
I close my eyes, still see your face
You walked away but never through
'Cause baby I
Still set a place for you

Maybe time will clean the stain
But your name still falls like rain
So I light that candle like I always do
'Cause baby I
Still set a place
A place
For you
