Watch the taillights Till they disappeared Stood in the driveway long after you were gone Like standing still could keep you from driving on Every set of headlights Looked like you're turning back But none of them were And none of them ever are And the house got quiet in a way I've never heard Every room remembers exactly where you were So I watched the taillights fade Red to black on an empty street I'm alone now, really alone Not the kind that you outgrow I watched the taillights fade And I swear I heard the brakes But it was just my heart breaking In the driveway where you left me Everybody says it gets easier, the quiet fades Some nights it just gets louder, finds a different shape Every habit built around you doesn't know you're gone Still setting two plates, still humming your favorite song And the house got quiet in a way I've never heard Every room remembers exactly where you were So I watched the taillights fade Red to black on an empty street I'm alone now, really alone Not the kind that you outgrow I watched the taillights fade And I swear I heard the brakes But it was just my heart breaking In the driveway where you left me I watched you leave I didn't stop you I don't know if that was strength Or just me breaking quietly I didn't stop you So I watched the taillights fade Red to black on an empty street I'm alone now, really alone Not the kind that you outgrow I watched the taillights fade And I swear I heard the brakes But it was just my heart breaking In the driveway where you left me Watch the taillights Till they disappeared
