Lyrics
[Verse 1]
[F1]
Your mug still sits by the sink
Two rings where your thumb used to fit
I keep your jacket on the hook
Like that could make you stay in it
[F2]
I still hear your laugh in the hall
Then the house goes hard and still
Your name hangs heavy on my tongue
Like something I can't swallow well
[Pre-Chorus]
[F1]
We begged you back from the edge
[F2]
But the edge kept calling you
[F1]
And I stood there with my hands
[F2]
Full of things I couldn't do
[Chorus]
Both voices:
We don't get you back
We don't get you back
No matter how we pray
No matter how we break
Both voices:
We don't get you back
We don't get you back
Just this empty room
And your name we can't replace
[Verse 2]
[F2]
The last call cut through the night
Like glass sliding down a wall
I said, "Please, just come home now"
But home was not enough at all
[F1]
The doctor said a word so small
It hit like iron in my chest
I watched the life leave your face
And I have not left that bed since
[Pre-Chorus]
[F2]
We scrubbed the stains from every tile
[F1]
Still the hurt stayed in the grout
[F2]
You were slipping, we were screaming
[F1]
And the dark just kept you out
[Chorus]
Both voices:
We don't get you back
We don't get you back
No matter how we pray
No matter how we break
Both voices:
We don't get you back
We don't get you back
Just this empty room
And your name we can't replace
[Bridge]
[F1]
I used to think love could lift you
[F2]
Could pull you back by the skin
[F1]
Now I carry all your absence
[F2]
Like a door I can't close in
Both voices:
If I could trade my breath
For one more morning light
I'd do it in a heartbeat
I'd do it in a heartbeat tonight
[Final Chorus]
Both voices:
We don't get you back
We don't get you back
No matter how we pray
No matter how we break
Both voices:
We don't get you back
We don't get you back
Just this empty room
And your name we can't replace
Both voices:
We don't get you back
We don't get you back
But I still light the lamp
For the love that couldn't stay
