Half of Me's at the Table

[verse 1] We sit across this old wood table Two dinners served, two hearts unstable Your smile flickers like a candle’s flame I reach for you, but it’s not the same [pre-chorus] I see your eyes drift far away To someplace I can’t ever stay I’m talking but I hear the sound Of a love that’s breaking down [chorus] Feels like half of me’s at the table The other half knows I’m not able To pretend that this is real When there’s more you need to feel If love ain’t whole, it’s just a lie I watch us fade with each goodbye Feels like half of me’s at the table tonight [verse 2] We walk the halls of painted art But your touch don’t reach my heart I hold your hand but it’s not mine It belongs to another time [pre-chorus] I hear your laugh but taste the ache Every step feels like a fake I’m standing here but truth won’t bend I can’t unsee what’s at the end [chorus] Feels like half of me’s at the table The other half knows I’m not able To pretend that this is real When there’s more you need to feel If love ain’t whole, it’s just a lie I watch us fade with each goodbye Feels like half of me’s at the table tonight [bridge] I wish I could believe enough To hold this fractured, hurting love But if it’s not all that we are Then we’re just shadows in the dark [outro] [guitar picking fades with piano chords] Feels like half of me’s at the table tonight [end]
