[Verse 1] Your coffee cup is gone from the window sill The house is quiet but I hear you still Your coat left a shape on the kitchen chair Now I reach for a hand that isn't there I kept the words I should have said Like loose change underneath the bed You said my name, then let me go And I watched the only good thing close [Pre-Chorus] I can drive past Miller's field But I can't make the silence heal [Chorus] I'm breaking apart, one small thing at a time The porch light burns but you're not driving by My hand finds empty space in the dark Every little yes left a permanent mark I'm breaking apart, and I don't know how to hide You made the ordinary feel alive No grand design, no promise from above Just me, right here, losing our love [Verse 2] We took the long way home through autumn rain You told me every scar, I told you mine again Then one cold morning you packed your things Left your silver chain and a note with no ending Your brother asked if I still hear your name Your mother looked away from the kitchen flame I laughed too loud, then swallowed the sound Some goodbyes don't leave when the door shuts down [Pre-Chorus] I can sleep beneath our roof But every room keeps telling truth [Chorus] I'm breaking apart, one small thing at a time The porch light burns but you're not driving by My hand finds empty space in the dark Every little yes left a permanent mark I'm breaking apart, and I don't know how to hide You made the ordinary feel alive No grand design, no promise from above Just me, right here, losing our love [Bridge] I don't need to know where every road will bend I only know I drove it without you again We hold on! We hold on! Till the thread cuts deep and the last hope ends You're the one I turn toward when the day is done The one I still expect when the morning comes [Breakdown] Say you meant it Say it wasn't all for nothing I still feel you In every room you left behind [Guitar Solo - Melodic, heavy post-hardcore lead with country slide twang] [Final Chorus] I'm breaking apart, one small thing at a time The porch light burns but you're not driving by My hand finds empty space in the dark Every little yes left a permanent mark I'm breaking apart, but I won't let it define The years we had or the fault in the goodbye No grand design, no promise from above Just me, right here, learning to lose our love [Outro] Your coffee cup is gone from the window sill The house is quiet, and I hear you still No need to hurry, no need to run I'm letting go, but I'm not done
