[Verse 1] Two chairs sitting at the edge of the room Watching the shadows as they start to loom You built a castle out of promises made But left us in the ruins as the colors slowly faded They say it’s between the two of who you are But the shrapnel hits us even from afar A quiet house where the laughter used to live Now we’re counting up the pieces that you couldn’t give [Chorus] When you walked away and closed the final door You left an empty seat where home had been before You said you left each other, but the truth is clear to see When you left each other, a part of you left me And it’s so unfair, carrying the blame Answering the questions that we couldn’t name Yeah, a part of you left me [Verse 2] Now there’s two different addresses, two different lives Cutting through the holidays like sharpened knives Grown up or little, the confusion stays the same Walking on the eggshells of a broken name The shame is a shadow that you didn’t mean to cast Stuck in the middle of the present and the past You split the world in two and told us it was right But we’re the ones who lie awake and worry through the night [Chorus] When you walked away and closed the final door You left an empty seat where home had been before You said you left each other, but the truth is clear to see When you left each other, a part of you left me And it’s so unfair, carrying the blame Answering the questions that we couldn’t name Yeah, a part of you left me [Bridge] It’s the betrayal of the foundation we knew Believing in a picture that was never true You draw the lines and expect us not to fall But the divide runs right through the center of it all [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] When you walked away and closed the final door You left an empty seat where home had been before You said you left each other, but the truth is clear to see When you left each other, a part of you left me And it’s so unfair, carrying the blame Answering the questions that we couldn’t name Yeah, a part of you left me [Outro] A part of you left me… In the middle of the quiet In the middle of the noise Just a part of you left me [Fade Out]
