lyrics
The balcony, the cracked red pot, the basil growing through the split. You left in March and I did not — I stayed and watered every bit. The crack is where the water goes. The crack is how the root still grows. Still I bloom, still I bloom, in broken clay, in empty rooms, still I bloom, still I bloom, you took the sun — I found the moon. Amore, look at me now: still I bloom. Your coffee cup sat on the shelf. I boxed your winter by myself. I played our last song one more time, then raised the needle. That was mine. Still I bloom, still I bloom, in broken clay, in empty rooms, still I bloom, still I bloom, you took the sun — I found the moon. Amore, look at me now: still I bloom. Rain across the terracotta, every drop a little opera. I sing louder than the weather. Broken things hold light much better. Still I bloom, still I bloom, in broken clay, in empty rooms, still I bloom, still I bloom, you took the sun — I found the moon. Amore, look at me now: still I bloom. Still I bloom... Look at me — still I bloom.
