i know whose table you're at

i know whose table you're at lyrics

Verse 1

Christmas plate gone cold
My phone stayed face-down
I sat at the table
Held your seat from dusk down
One call would have fed me
One text would have saved
I kept your place warm
Then learned what I gave

Pre-Chorus

I set a place for you
For your fork and your coat
Set a place in my chest
That you never could hold
If you were still coming
You'd have said so by now
The clock kept its promise
You didn't

Chorus

I know whose table you're at
I know whose table you're at
My phone in my hand
And a cold plate again
I know whose table you're at
I know whose table you're at
I set a place for you
You set me back then

Verse 2

I won't call her cruel
I won't make her the blame
She sits where she's standing
And I know that's her name
But you let me wait
With my supper half-spent
So I learned your footsteps
By the shape of your absence

Pre-Chorus

I set a place for you
For your fork and your coat
Set a place in my chest
That you never could hold
If you were still coming
You'd have said so by now
The clock kept its promise
You didn't

Chorus

I know whose table you're at
I know whose table you're at
My phone in my hand
And a cold plate again
I know whose table you're at
I know whose table you're at
I set a place for you
You set me back then

Bridge

If she ever asks you
Say I said it plain
I was loving a shadow
And calling it your name
I don't hate her for it
I hate the wait
I hate how I saved you
A seat at my plate

Chorus

I know whose table you're at
I know whose table you're at
My phone in my hand
And a cold plate again
I know whose table you're at
I know whose table you're at
I set a place for you
You set me back then
