[Verse 1]
You left your coffee by the window
A half-read page beside the chair
I kept the room just like you knew it
Like keeping still could keep you there
I took the long way past the corner
Where you first laughed at my old car
Funny how a little silence
Can make a memory sound far
[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m done counting every reason
Done rehearsing what I’d say
If your heart already closed the door
I won’t stand in its way
[Chorus]
I’m gonna let the good love stay
And let the hurt roll on
Take your picture from the hallway
Keep the lesson, lose the dawn
You were the road I had to travel
Not the place where I belong
I’m gonna let the good love stay
And let the hurt roll on
[Verse 2]
My sister called me Sunday morning
Said, “You sound different on the phone”
I told her I was finally learning
How to make a home my own
I found your jacket in the closet
Held it once, then let it go
Some things end without a villain
Some things leave so you can grow
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the window’s open wider
There’s a breeze across the floor
I can hear my own voice clearly
I don’t need yours anymore
[Chorus]
I’m gonna let the good love stay
And let the hurt roll on
Take your picture from the hallway
Keep the lesson, lose the dawn
You were the road I had to travel
Not the place where I belong
I’m gonna let the good love stay
And let the hurt roll on
[Bridge]
Maybe someday, if we meet there
We’ll be strangers without blame
I’ll remember what you gave me
But I won’t wear your name
[Final Chorus]
I’m gonna let the good love stay
And let the hurt roll on
Turn the key and face the morning
Find the rhythm of my own
You were the road I had to travel
Now I’m stronger moving on
I’m gonna let the good love stay
And let the hurt roll on
[Outro]
Let the good love stay
Let the hurt roll on
