[Verse 1] We said we'd wait By the kitchen door Your coat on the chair Mine on the floor One small word And the air went thin Now the plates don't touch Where your hands had been [Pre-Chorus] You look at me like You already left I keep holding on To what's almost left If this is the line Then say it straight 'Cause I can't read What you won't say [Chorus] Separate, separate Don't say it slow Separate, separate If you're gonna go Break my hands apart Break the habit too Separate, separate But don't make me choose [Verse 2] Your tea goes cold Next to mine Half a life on pause In a dotted line I hear your keys Then I don't You turn to the hall Then you don't [Pre-Chorus] You look at me like You already left I keep holding on To what's almost left If this is the line Then say it straight 'Cause I can't read What you won't say [Chorus] Separate, separate Don't say it slow Separate, separate If you're gonna go Break my hands apart Break the habit too Separate, separate But don't make me choose [Bridge] If we fall out Let it be true Not a room full of shadows Between me and you One clean cut One honest ache Better a hard goodbye Than a heart that breaks [Final Chorus] Separate, separate Don't say it slow Separate, separate If you're gonna go Break my hands apart Break the habit too Separate, separate But don't make me choose Separate, separate I can learn to lose
