Your Blue Coat

STUDIO

[Intro — Original Vocal Sample] Your blue coat still hangs by the door [Instrumental] [Verse 1] You said, “Can we talk?” I said, “Here we go again” Had my answer ready ’fore you got a sentence in You said, “I’m tired of trying,” I said, “Yeah, me too” Didn’t even hear you out, just threw it back at you Heard you packing in the bedroom, heard your bag hit the floor Kept staring at the TV like we’d done this all before You stopped beside my chair, I knew you were standing there I could’ve turned around, I just acted like I didn’t care I thought you’d take a drive, come back when you cooled down Didn’t turn around until I heard your car pull out I kept thinking you’d come back, we’d get past another fight Took me way too long to know you meant it when you left that night [Hook] I got all the right words now, ain’t that some shit? Couldn’t find one damn word when you needed it I can tell you I was wrong, tell you I still care But I should’ve said it then, when you were standing there [Refrain — Original Vocal Sample] I can’t find the me I knew before [Instrumental Outro] [Outro — Original Vocal Sample] Your blue coat still hangs by the door [Verse 2] I finally got that raise you always said I should Almost called to tell you out of habit, like I could Could hear you saying “told you” with that grin you always had Sat out in the parking lot, couldn’t even feel glad Guys at work keep asking, I say, “We just grew apart” Don’t tell ’em you kept reaching out and I wouldn’t do my part I know I made it sound like neither one was wrong But you were getting tired, and I’d been checked out too long I catch myself with something funny, then I start to say I turn to where you used to sit, then I just look away Don’t need another reason, don’t need something I can blame Don’t know how you stayed that long when I kept acting the same [Hook] I got all the right words now, ain’t that some shit? Couldn’t find one damn word when you needed it I can tell you I was wrong, tell you I still care But I should’ve said it then, when you were standing there [Instrumental Breakdown] [Refrain — Original Vocal Sample] I can’t find the me I knew before [Refrain — Original Vocal Sample] I can’t find the me I knew before [Instrumental] [Bridge] Everybody thinks you left me that night I let ’em think it You were alone with me for months And I knew it [Verse 3 — Tighter Rap] I kept saying “not now,” you kept giving me time You’d get halfway through a sentence, I’d say, “I’m fine” You’d try another way, I’d say you picked a fight Then I’d go to bed convinced that I was right You didn’t leave because of one bad day You told me it was coming, I kept looking away And if you come back for that coat, I won’t ask you to stay I should’ve listened when you asked me, not when it’s too late [Final Hook] I got all the right words now, ain’t that some shit? Couldn’t find one damn word when you needed it I can tell you I was wrong, tell you I still care But I should’ve said it then, when you were standing there [Instrumental] [Refrain — Original Vocal Sample] I can’t find the me I knew before [Refrain — Original Vocal Sample] I can’t find the me I knew before [Instrumental Outro] [Outro — Original Vocal Sample] Your blue coat still hangs by the door [Outro — Original Vocal Sample] Your blue coat still hangs by the door
