[Verse 1]
Found your coffee cup
Lipstick ghost on chipped white glass
Bedroom door still stuck
From the night you finally packed
Crayon suns on the hallway wall
Names and heights
Every crooked line
All this mess I used to curse
Now it’s what I’m dying to find
[Chorus]
Thirteen years
And I’m waking up late
You’re gone with the kids
And the silence is loud in this place
Thirteen years
I was busy keeping score
Now I’m standing in the wreckage
Of a home that ain't ours anymore
[Verse 2]
Two times we broke it off
Both times you came back to try
I swore I’d really change
Then I let the days roll by
You learned how to sleep in fear
Of which version of me you’d get
Now your key don’t fit the lock
And my hands keep shaking on the steps
[Chorus]
Thirteen years
And I’m waking up late
You’re gone with the kids
And the silence is loud in this place
Thirteen years
I was busy keeping score
Now I’m standing in the wreckage
Of a home that ain't ours anymore
[Bridge]
Are you braiding her hair for school?
Is he asking why I’m not there?
Do they hate me like I do?
Do they think I didn’t care?
I would tear this house to the ground
Trade every fear
Every fight
For your car back in the driveway
For your name in the porch light (oh)
[Chorus]
Thirteen years
And I’m begging the past
You’re gone with the kids
And I know that this hurt’s gonna last
Thirteen years
I finally see what I lost
Now I’m learning how to love you
From the wrong side of the cost
