[Verse 1]
You slammed the door so softly
But it sounded like it split my chest
Keys shaking in your fingers
You said
"I need a minute. I need a rest"
I said the worst kind of nothing
Just stared past you at the wall
You waited for an answer
Then you walked out
Thinking you'd call
[Chorus]
All I hear now
Are your last words in the driveway
"Say something
Say something"
And I let you drive away
I would trade my lungs
For one more stupid fight
All I taste is metal
Wishing I had begged you
"Stay tonight"
[Verse 2]
Phone lit up at midnight
Unknown number
Hospital white
Your sister choking on my name
Sirens echoing through the line
They said you never saw it coming
Headlights swerved
Then disappeared
I dropped the phone
Hit the kitchen tile
Your goodbye still ringing in my ears
[Chorus]
All I hear now
Are your last words in the driveway
"Say something
Say something"
And I let you drive away
I would trade my lungs
For one more stupid fight
All I taste is metal
Wishing I had begged you
"Stay tonight"
[Bridge]
[Clean guitar
Almost whisper]
I replay the scene in slow motion
Your hand on the handle
Eyes red
Still hoping
You: "Do you even want this?"
Me: silence
Stone
Frozen
[Build – screams enter]
You died thinking I didn't love you
You died thinking I didn't care (I care!)
I'd carve it into my own ribs
If it could drag you back here
[Chorus]
All I hear now
Are your last words in the driveway
"Say something
Say something" (say something!)
And I let you drive away
I would trade my lungs
For one more wasted night
Arguing on the couch
Just to feel you breathing by my side
[Outro]
[Full band hits
Then cuts on last word]
You slammed the door so softly
Now every door feels like
A grave
