[Intro] We didn't raise our voices. Didn't have to. We both knew why we were sitting there. [Verse 1] We paid the mortgage every month, remembered birthdays, fixed the sink. You knew exactly how I take my coffee, I knew when you needed time to think. We had our side of the mattress, our places at the kitchen table. From the outside looking in, we were everything called stable. [Pre-Chorus] There wasn't someone waiting. No secret on your phone. Just two people sitting quietly, finally saying what we'd known. [Chorus] Love wasn't the problem, we had more than enough. We knew how to hold each other, we just forgot how to want us. And that's the hardest kind of leaving, when there's nobody to blame. Love wasn't the problem — but it couldn't make us stay. [Verse 2] We made it through your mother's funeral, my surgery that spring. Three bad jobs and one good year, and all the ordinary things. We learned which bills could wait a week, which friends would always call. We bought that couch we couldn't afford and somehow paid it off. You still make me laugh sometimes. I still know when you're afraid. That's what made the words so hard when we finally let them say: [Chorus] Love wasn't the problem, we had more than enough. We knew how to hold each other, we just forgot how to want us. And that's the hardest kind of leaving, when there's nobody to blame. Love wasn't the problem — but it couldn't make us stay. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] We divided up the records. You said I should keep the blue chair. I told you take the good knives — you always cared more about them anyway. We stood there making little piles of twelve years in a room. Nothing looked important enough to explain what we were losing. Your coffee cup was by the sink. My coat was on the stair. Funny how a life can end while everything is still right there. [Bridge] Maybe it would hurt less if you'd given me a reason. A slammed door, a stranger's name, some unforgivable betrayal. But you were kind. And I was kind. And kindness couldn't save it. Sometimes nobody breaks a heart. Sometimes it just stops being home. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] We talked about the house. The bank. Who keeps the photographs. You asked if I regretted us. I said, "Not a day of it." And I meant that. There are years I wouldn't trade just because they had to end. You can lose the life you planned without losing your best friend. [Build-Up] So don't rewrite the good years just to make goodbye make sense. Don't turn love into a failure because forever wasn't meant. What we had was real. What we lost is real. Both things can be true. [Crescendo] And maybe growing older is learning that they do. [Final Chorus] Love wasn't the problem, we had more than enough. we had more than enough. We knew every way to hold on, we just couldn't become us again. And that's the hardest kind of leaving, when you still know their face by heart. When nobody stopped loving, but two lives still have to part. Love wasn't the problem. Love wasn't the problem. There was nothing left to prove. Sometimes love can still be love and still not be enough to choose. [Outro] You took your coat. I kept the key. We stood there for a moment where goodbye was supposed to be. Neither one of us said sorry. There was nothing left to forgive. [End]
