[Verse 1] Wedding band on my hand, kids' shoes by the door But she looks right through me like I'm not here anymore She took the kids last August, left the house gone cold Watched her taillights fade down that county road Now I'm pacing kitchen tiles, midnight on repeat Counting cracks in the hardwood where her shadow used to be I still don't know how love just comes apart at the seams Then she's back in my doorway, like it's all a dream [Chorus] She says, "I'm sorry, I want you to hold me, please don't go" Tears in her eyes, same script every time But a break like this don't rewind She says, "I want you to hold me" And I'm breaking at the core (please, no more) She whispers, "let's go" [Verse 2] She says she's been dreaming 'bout me late at night Torn between the wrong and what she calls right Her heart goes soft for a second, then it turns to stone I don't know what to believe when I'm left alone Every goodbye burns, leaves a brand on my skin Now she's back with shaking hands saying "let's begin" She's standing in my kitchen, "let's go" [Chorus 2] She says, "I'm sorry, I want you to hold me, please don't go" Voice like broken glass, same line every time And it shatters somewhere in my mind She says, "I want you to hold me" I'm screaming in my chest (how much more?) She whispers, "let's go" [Bridge] I don't believe her, but I still unlock the door Same storm circling, same war Wish she'd pick a side — love or lonely nights She says, "I want you to hold me" And I'm bleeding on the floor (too far gone) She whispers, "let's go" [Final Chorus] She says, "I'm sorry, I want you to hold me, please don't go" I'm tired of the lines, tired of the show But my heart still gets in line for more She says, "I want you to hold me" I'm shaking to the core (one last time) She whispers, "let's go" [Outro] Wedding band on my hand, kids' shoes by the door She took my whole world, left the floors cold I said goodbye but my chest still aches Every step back is a fresh heartbreak I don't know how love cuts this deep Now she's here again, breathing over me "Let's go" "Let's go"
