[Verse 1]
Two wine glasses in the sink
Your perfume in the winter coat
I still set your side of the bed
Like you about to walk through the door
Heart on the hanger by the lamp
Shirt still smelling like your hair
I talk to the empty chair across me
Ask why you’re not there
[Chorus]
This is my suite for a broken gentleman
Tie on the floor, but I’m trying to stand
Singing high for the love I lost (so high)
Dropping low where the hurt still talks (so low)
I keep it classy while I come apart
Trumpet crying where I hide my heart
This is my suite for a broken, broken man
[Verse 2]
Yeah
Cufflinks on the dresser, I’m undressed pride
Half a letter in the trash, other half inside
You said, “We need space” like it’s some small thing
Now the room got an echo every time I think your name
I pour one for the memories, sip for the lies
Toast to the silence, stare at the blinds
I play host to the ghost of us in this room
You dance in my head, but you left too soon
[Chorus]
This is my suite for a broken gentleman
Tie on the floor, but I’m trying to stand
Singing high for the love I lost (oh, so high)
Dropping low where the hurt still talks (down low)
I keep it classy while I come apart
Trumpet crying where I hide my heart
This is my suite for a broken, broken man
[Bridge]
[Trumpet and guitar trade soft phrases under low vocal]
I drop my voice down, talk to the dark
Say your name in a whisper, feel it tear me apart
Then I reach for a note only you used to hear (ooh)
Climb till it shakes every chandelier
If you walked back in, would you know this face
Same old suit, but a different grace
Every scar got a story I don’t rehearse
Every string in this room plays us in reverse
[Chorus]
This is my suite for a broken gentleman
Tie on the floor, but I’m trying to stand (trying, I’m trying)
Singing high for the love I lost (so high, so high)
Dropping low where the hurt still talks (down low, oh)
I keep it classy while I come apart
Trumpet crying where I hide my heart
This is my suite for a broken, broken man
[Outro]
[Strings swell, trumpet echoes the chorus melody]
Last note hanging in the chandelier light
I bow to the emptiness, wish you goodnight
From the highest falsetto to this low, low sigh
I’m a gentleman breaking, but I still wear the tie
