You left your coat on the chair

[Verse 1] You left your coat on the chair Like you planned to return Coffee ring on the table Still waiting its turn I practiced all the lines I saved But none of them fit Your name hung quiet in the room While my hands couldn’t quit [Chorus] The hardest part was never saying goodbye And I keep replaying why The hardest part was never saying goodbye And the truth sits nearby The hardest part was never saying goodbye And the questions multiply The hardest part was never saying goodbye And my mind won’t comply [Verse 2] There’s a dent on the pillow Where your thoughts used to rest I trace it with my fingers Like some half-written test You didn’t need a final scene You just slipped out of view Now every quiet morning Feels borrowed from you [Chorus] The hardest part was never saying goodbye And I keep replaying why The hardest part was never saying goodbye And the truth sits nearby The hardest part was never saying goodbye And the questions multiply The hardest part was never saying goodbye And my mind won’t comply [Bridge] If I could rewind the smallest breath I’d take your silence apart Not to change whatever you thought Just to steady my heart [Chorus] The hardest part was never saying goodbye And I keep replaying why The hardest part was never saying goodbye And the truth sits nearby The hardest part was never saying goodbye And the questions multiply The hardest part was never saying goodbye And my mind won’t comply
