[Verse 1] I found your coat on the chair Still holding your shape in the air The sleeve had a stain from the rain And I smiled through the ache of your name Your cup was cold by the sink Three cracks and a lipstick pink I stood there too long to pretend That this house still knows where you’ve been [Pre-Chorus] And the clock kept a patient time While your shadow slipped out of mine I tried to call it a phase But the truth sat down and stayed [Chorus] Baby, my heart broke slow Like a Sunday radio It kept on singing your song Even after you were gone Baby, my heart broke slow And I still don’t let it show I wear the rain like a ring And I don’t say a thing [Verse 2] The letters live in a box Under old bills and broken locks I tied them with thread from your dress Like I could hold what I couldn’t fix The garden drank all the sun The porch swing moves with no one I hear your laugh in the boards Then the whole room falls apart [Pre-Chorus] And I know I should let you drift But the memory has a grip It pulls like a jealous tide Every night when I close my eyes [Chorus] Baby, my heart broke slow Like a Sunday radio It kept on singing your song Even after you were gone Baby, my heart broke slow And I still don’t let it show I wear the rain like a ring And I don’t say a thing [Bridge] If you ever think of me Think of the way I used to believe In every promise, every plan In the warmth of your hand Now the room is a quiet shell And I know it too well I can live with the scar But I can’t forget who you are [Chorus] Baby, my heart broke slow Like a Sunday radio It kept on singing your song Even after you were gone Baby, my heart broke slow And I still don’t let it show I wear the rain like a ring And I don’t say a thing [Outro] [Music Break] Oh, I tried Oh, I tried To let you go Oh, the years Oh, the years Still move so slow [Music Break] In the dark In the dark Your ghost grows kind And the last little part of me Still waits for your sign Baby, my heart broke slow Baby, my heart broke slow Oh, it broke me clean But it won’t let me leave Baby, my heart broke slow Baby, my heart broke slow And the room goes wide As the goodbye dies [Music Break] Ah, ah Ah, ah Ooh, ooh Ah, ah Baby, my heart broke slow Baby, my heart broke slow
