[Verse 1] You said, “I’m gonna take you with me” I packed my coat beside the door Then watched your taillights cross the gravel And heard the engine fade once more [Pre-Chorus] Your promise hangs here by its thread The room keeps everything you said [Chorus] You left me standing where you found me With both hands full of things you swore I see you going, I can’t follow I’m still right here outside the door You said you’d take me when you left But you took the road and nothing else [Verse 2] The cup you used is by the sink now A ring of tea dried on the wood I kept the porch light burning past you As if a little flame still could [Pre-Chorus] The clock moves on; the house stays still I say your name against my will [Chorus] You left me standing where you found me With both hands full of things you swore I see you going, I can’t follow I’m still right here outside the door You said you’d take me when you left But you took the road and nothing else [Bridge] If you meant it, turn around If you don’t, then say it plain I can bear a hard goodbye I can’t live inside the maybe [Final Chorus] You left me standing where you found me No borrowed map, no open door I see you going, I stop waiting I won’t keep watch for you anymore You said you’d take me when you left I’ll find my way with what I have left [Outro] The porch light clicks; the morning comes I take my coat and step beyond
