Verse 1
It’s been a long goodbye, longer than I planned
Your coffee cup still sitting where you left your hand
I tell myself I’m stronger now, I’m moving on
But every quiet moment proves me wrong
Verse 2
I packed up all the photos, hid them in a drawer
Still feel your name like thunder when I close the door
Some days I’m fine, some days I break in two
I hate how much I still miss you
Pre-Chorus
I know the ending, I know the truth
But my heart don’t listen like my head wants to
Chorus
It’s a long breakup, I can’t let go
I love you in ways I’ll never show
I’m angry, I’m hopeful, I’m lost, I’m numb
I’m holding on while I’m coming undone
I tell myself I’ll be okay somehow
But I still love you right now
Verse 3
I smile in public, I lie when they ask
Say I’m doing better, yeah, I’ve learned that act
But at night your voice still finds my skin
Like you never really left me then
Pre-Chorus
I try to forget, I try to be strong
But loving you was never something I did wrong
Chorus
It’s a long breakup, I can’t let go
I love you in ways I’ll never show
I’m angry, I’m hopeful, I’m lost, I’m numb
I’m holding on while I’m coming undone
I tell myself I’ll be okay somehow
But I still love you right now
Bridge
Maybe love don’t end when people do
Maybe it just learns how to live with the truth
I don’t need you back, I just need to breathe
Learn how to miss you without losing me
Final Chorus
It’s a long breakup, I’m letting you go
One broken piece at a time, real slow
I’ll keep the love, lose the pain somehow
I won’t always love you like I do right now
But if loving you was all I knew
I’ll carry it gently, and carry on too
Outro
It’s not the end, it’s just the after of you
