Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left your sweater on my kitchen chair
Your perfume lives in every room
Still there
I used to chase your shadow down the hall
Now I watch the sunlight on these empty walls
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought the story ended when you walked away
But I’m still standing in the mess we made
Framed up our future like a picture on the shelf
Forgot the part where I could love myself (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m gonna let you be my goodbye
Not my reason why
You were my whole life
Now you’re just one line
I built my house on all your changing tides
But I won’t drown this time
I’m gonna let you be my goodbye
And keep the rest of me alive
[Verse 2]
Your coffee mug is chipped
But so am I
I finally laughed and didn’t have to try
I’m rearranging every photograph
Some hurt to look at
Some still make me laugh
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought the music stopped the night you left town
But there’s a new song every time I turn around
You took the plans
I’ll take the open road
I’ll carry love
Just not your heavy load
[Chorus]
I’m gonna let you be my goodbye
Not my reason why
You were my whole life
Now you’re just one line
I built my house on all your changing tides
But I won’t drown this time
I’m gonna let you be my goodbye
And keep the rest of me alive
[Bridge]
[Hammond organ swells
Sax answering vocal lines]
You were the dream that kept me from sleeping
The promise I kept while my heart was bleeding
Now every breath is a brand new start
Every step is a beat of my own heart (hey)
[Chorus]
I’m gonna let you be my goodbye
Not my reason why
You were my whole life
Now you’re just one line
I built my house on all your changing tides
But I won’t drown this time
I’m gonna let you be my goodbye
Let the past fall out of sight
I’m gonna let you be my goodbye
And keep the rest of me alive (alive)
