[Verse 1]
You were stirrin' sugar in your coffee
I was stirrin' up a storm inside my chest
Watched your mouth move
Talkin' 'bout her weekend
I just smiled
Made a joke
Changed the subject
[Chorus]
I almost told you
Right there at the table
How every song on the radio
Feels like a fable
I almost said
"It's always been you"
But I just bit my tongue
Till it bruised
All this love that I don't use
[Verse 2]
Walked you to your car
You hit the unlock
Said you hate to drive home in the dark
You laughed
Said "Guess I'll call him later"
I laughed too
Felt a crack in my heart
[Chorus]
I almost told you
"Don't call
Just stay"
We could draw little maps
Of a different way
I almost said
"It's always been you"
But I just watched you leave
In your rearview
All this love that I don't use
[Bridge]
How many nights
Can I sing to the ceiling
Sayin' your name
Till the paint starts peelin'
How many times
Will I dream that you know
Then wake up with a pillow
That still smells like hope (oh)
[Chorus]
I almost told you
Every scar
Every secret
How you're the one place
My heart still believes in
I almost said
"It's always been you"
But "goodnight
Drive safe"
Was all that came through
All this love that I don't use
All this love
That I saved for you
