One Breath From Gone

[Verse 1]
You left your coffee on the porch rail
Steam fading like your last “I’ll call”
Truck tracks bleeding through the gravel
One taillight flicker, that’s all
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep staring at that empty driveway
Like it’s gonna roll you back home
Heart stuck on a spinning highway
Radio on, but I’m alone
[Chorus]
I’m one breath from gone
One word from breaking
One ring from you and I’d turn this car around
I’m hanging on a thread
Heart wide, hands shaking
If you say stay, I’ll stay, I won’t move on
‘Cause I’m one breath from gone
[Verse 2]
Your jacket’s still on my chair back
Smells like rain and Friday nights
Every picture on the fridge door
Is picking sides in our fight
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep pacing through this kitchen
Like the tiles can tell me what to do
Every shadow’s got your outline
Every silence sounds like you
[Chorus]
I’m one breath from gone
One word from breaking
One ring from you and I’d turn this car around
I’m hanging on a thread
Heart wide, hands shaking
If you say stay, I’ll stay, I won’t move on
‘Cause I’m one breath from gone
[Bridge]
If this is over, don’t just fade
Hit me hard or beg me stay (oh)
Say you’re done or say you’re mine
Don’t leave me living on the line
[Chorus]
I’m one breath from gone
One word from breaking
One ring from you and I’d turn this car around
I’m hanging on a thread
Heart wide, hands shaking
If you say stay, I’ll stay, I won’t move on
Say the word, pull me back where I belong
‘Cause I’m one breath
One breath from gone
