[Verse 1] I came in like I always did, same place, same little ritual. Never thought to memorize the last time— that’s the cruelty of the habitual. You don’t photograph what you trust to stay, you don’t say goodbye to the usual. I walked in already knowing what I wanted and walked out taking it personal. [Pre-Chorus] Nobody warned me. Nobody thought they should. You were there until you weren’t, and I never understood how something that reliable could disappear for good. [Chorus] I would’ve appreciated a conversation, a little notice, a chance to prepare. You don’t get to become part of my routine then act like you were never there. I was loyal when I had other options, I chose you every goddamn time. Now I’m standing here betrayed by a decision that wasn’t mine. [Verse 2] Don’t tell me there’s something I could try, like wanting less is something I can choose. Don’t point me toward another option like a substitute makes up for what I lose. You made the call, I paid the price, and somehow I’m the one who has to bend. So whoever signed their name beneath it— I hope your favorite thing gets taken in the end. [Pre-Chorus] No warning. No last goodbye. Just the space where you belonged and no one telling me why. Funny what you take for granted till it isn’t there to find. [Chorus] I would’ve appreciated a conversation, a little notice, a chance to prepare. You don’t get to become part of my routine then act like you were never there. I was loyal when I had other options, I chose you every goddamn time. Now I’m standing here betrayed by a decision that wasn’t mine. [Bridge] Maybe that’s what makes me angriest— I didn’t know the last was the last. There was no reason to hold on tighter, no reason to think it could pass. I thought there would always be another. That’s what ordinary things convince you of. Then somebody decides you’re done having the thing you inexplicably love. [Final Chorus] I would’ve appreciated a conversation, one last warning, one final goodbye. I would’ve paid a little more attention if I’d known I was running out of time. But somebody decided for me and left something lesser in its place. So I’ll carry this completely reasonable anger every time I pass that place.
