Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Kids at the back door

Bare feet on the cold floor

Hands on the glass

Fog in their breath

“Daddy don’t go

” but it’s all been said

Suitcase leaning by the old screen frame

One more sorry that don’t change a thing

Their eyes saying stay

My pride saying run

House full of echoes

Love all undone

[Chorus]

I’m leaving

But I’m not letting go

I’ll be back for the weekends

I hope you know

Can’t live with your mama

We burned that home

But you’re still my heart

You’re still my own

I’m walking away from the war we made

I’m not walking away from you

(back door goodbye, but I’ll come back through)

[Verse 2]

You hold your sister

She hides in your shirt

You ask if it’s something you did to get hurt

How do I tell you the truth I despise?

Grown-up mistakes in your baby-blue eyes

Car in the driveway humming like a dare

Her shadow in the hallway

Arms folded there

We lost our way

Got lost in our fights

But you’re the only thing we ever did right

[Chorus]

I’m leaving

But I’m not letting go

I’ll be back for the weekends

I hope you know

Can’t live with your mama

We burned that home

But you’re still my heart

You’re still my own

I’m walking away from the war we made

I’m not walking away from you

(back door goodbye, but I’ll come back through)

[Bridge]

When the school plays start

When the candles shine

When you look in the crowd

I’ll be on that line

I’ll miss some mornings

I’ll miss some nights

But I’ll fight like hell

To stay in your life (yeah)

[Chorus]

I’m leaving

But I’m not letting go

I’ll be back for the weekends

I hope you know

Can’t live with your mama

We burned that home

But you’re still my heart

You’re still my own

I’m walking away from the war we made

I’m not walking away from you

(back door goodbye, but I’ll come back through)
