Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] (Female) You left your coffee On the counter by the door Your jacket on the chair Like you’d be back for more We were laughing at that movie Then the credits came too soon Now I’m talking to the shadows On your side of the room [Chorus] (Female) How dare you leave me How dare you expect me to move on One minute you were right here Talking, joking, then you’re gone How dare you start the next chapter Close our book like it meant nothing to you How dare you leave me When I was still choosing you [Verse 2] (Male) I see your number Still pinned up in my truck You in that old ball cap Grinning, calling it luck I was scared of getting older You were ready to settle down Now your mama says you’re “doing fine” On the good side of town [Chorus] (Male) How dare you leave me How dare you expect me to move on One minute we were planning Friday nights and front porch songs How dare you start the next chapter Like our whole story was just something you outgrew How dare you leave me When I was still holding you [Bridge] (Both) Did you pack up all the “somedays” When you boxed up your blue jeans Did you rewrite all our heartache Till I’m barely in the scenes (Female) ‘Cause I’m stuck on the same page (Male) And you’re skipping to the end (Both) I lost my heart and a future You just lost a friend [Chorus] (Both) How dare you leave me How dare you expect me to move on One minute we were right there Talking, joking, then you’re gone How dare you start the next chapter Like the last one never cut you in two How dare you leave me When every line still leads to you [Outro] (Female) You turned the page (Male) I’m torn in two (Both) How dare you leave me When I was still choosing you
