The Last Cup Together - ExChillCafe
The steam is rising like a final ghost
Between the buttered bread and cold white toast
I'm looking at your hands, but not your eyes
While the golden sun begins to break the skies
The kitchen clock is ticking loud and slow
Counting down the minutes till you have to go
I pour the cream in just the way you like
Before you head out on that lonely hike
I'm stirring slow, watching the colors blend
Trying to find the words to mark the end
The silence is a weight I cannot lift
As our world begins its final quiet shift
And it's the last cup together, bittersweet and deep
One final promise that we couldn't keep
The coffee's warm but my heart is turning cold
Watching the end of a story we've told
A little bit of sugar, a whole lot of pain
Drinking the sunlight while waiting for the rain
The ceramic's hot against my trembling palm
I'm trying so hard to stay quiet and calm
One little sip of the dark roasted bean
The space between us feels so cold and lean
I want to ask you to stay for one more pour
But I see your suitcase waiting by the door
The bottom of the mug is coming way too fast
I knew this morning wouldn't be the one to last
But let the flavor linger, let the warmth remain
Before you leave me standing in the morning stain
Yes, the last cup together, bittersweet and deep
One final promise that we couldn't keep
The coffee's warm but my heart is turning cold
Watching the end of a story we've told
A little bit of sugar, a whole lot of pain
Drinking the sunlight while waiting for the rain
The pot is empty
The table is bare
Just the scent of the coffee
And an empty chair
