[Verse 1] You left your jacket on the kitchen chair One sleeve turned inside out I found the receipt from that diner Where we swore we'd work it out [Pre-Chorus] I read your handwriting twice Like the answer might change But the ink stayed black And the room stayed the same [Chorus] I’m not asking you to come back I’m asking why you had to lie You made a home out of my worst days Then packed it up and said goodbye If I’m the one you’re done with Say it clean and let it hurt I’d rather bleed from something honest Than keep guessing what I’m worth [Verse 2] Your photograph is in the hallway Pinned beneath a crooked nail I tried to turn it toward the wall But even silence tells the tale [Pre-Chorus] I keep the porch light burning Though nobody’s coming through Every night I lose a little Of the version built for you [Chorus] I’m not asking you to come back I’m asking why you had to lie You made a home out of my worst days Then packed it up and said goodbye If I’m the one you’re done with Say it clean and let it hurt I’d rather bleed from something honest Than keep guessing what I’m worth [Bridge] Maybe I was easy to leave Maybe you were scared to stay Either way, the truth is waiting In the words you wouldn’t say [Final Chorus] I’m not asking you to come back I’m finally learning how to drive Past the diner, past the corner Past the place we kept alive If I’m the one you’re done with I can carry what it cost I’d rather bleed from something honest Than pretend I never lost [Outro] The jacket’s still on the chair But I don’t need it there
