[Verse 1] We were barefoot on the tailgate July sweat on a Friday night She traced her name in the truck dust Said, “boy, you’re my whole life” We planned babies and a mailbox Same church, same gravel road She swore forever on my front porch Wrapped up in my old coat [Chorus] She loved me till she didn’t Held on like she meant it Kissed me like there’d never be an end in sight (mm) She swore that we were different Then one day she went missin’ Left her sweatshirt and a note in the kitchen Yeah, she loved me She loved me till she didn’t [Verse 2] Coffee cup on the counter Lipstick stain I still don’t wash Her side of the bed stays empty But I sleep on my side, like she might walk in and talk Her friends still ask how I’m doing I just laugh, say “same old, same” But I drive past her mama’s house Like her car might be in the lane [Chorus] She loved me till she didn’t Held on like she meant it Kissed me like there’d never be an end in sight (oh yeah) She swore that we were different Then one day she went missin’ Left her sweatshirt and a note in the kitchen Yeah, she loved me She loved me till she didn’t [Bridge] Guess “always” has an ending Guess promises can fade Funny how a simple goodbye Can burn more than a blaze [Chorus] She loved me till she didn’t I’m still here, still in it Talking to her shadow in the porch light glow She swore that we were different I’m still stuck on “we were winning” Reading that same four-line note in the kitchen Yeah, she loved me God, I loved her She loved me till she didn’t
