[Verse 1]
I saved your name beneath a folded note
In the back pocket of my winter coat
I practiced saying what I couldn't hide
Then watched your hands go still when I said mine
[Pre-Chorus]
You looked away toward the kitchen door
Like my words had changed the room we shared before
[Chorus]
I told you I love you, you broke the air
Left my heart on the floor and walked past it there
You said you were sorry, but sorry rang hollow
Now every road home is a road I don't follow
I gave you the truth with nothing held back
You handed me silence and turned your back
[Verse 2]
Your blue hair tie is caught around my chair
A little proof that you were once still there
I keep the coffee mug you always chose
Though every morning tastes like what I know
[Pre-Chorus]
I was ready to meet you halfway through
You were already leaving before I reached you
[Chorus]
I told you I love you, you broke the air
Left my heart on the floor and walked past it there
You said you were sorry, but sorry rang hollow
Now every road home is a road I don't follow
I gave you the truth with nothing held back
You handed me silence and turned your back
[Bridge]
Maybe I mistook your kindness for a promise
Maybe you knew and couldn't say you wanted out
But I would have stayed through every honest answer
Not this quiet house with your absence spread about
[Final Chorus]
I told you I love you, you broke the air
Left my heart on the floor and walked past it there
You said you were sorry, but sorry rang hollow
Now I’m learning to live with the space you left to follow
I gave you the truth with nothing held back
You handed me silence and turned your back
Still, somewhere inside me, I wish you the best
Even with your goodbye beating hard in my chest
[Outro]
I told you I love you
That was the last thing I could give
You shattered my heart
And I’m still learning how to live
