Halfway Out the Door

[Verse 1]
You pack bags slow
Foldin' all our inside jokes
Throw my hoodie in, like it ain't
Every winter that we froze
You say, "We grew apart"
I say, "We just got old"
You say, "This feels right"
I say, "I'm losin' home"
We on the couch, far apart
Same show, different phone glow
Your screen say “fresh start”
Mine say "please don't go"
You talk 'bout healing
I'm talkin' hope
You already halfway out
I'm still holdin' the door (wait)
[Chorus]
You wanna leave
I wanna fix it
You call it peace
I call it distance
You say it's time
I say we missin'
Every reason that we fought for before
You call it love
That finally listened
I call it love
That went missin'
You say you're done
I'm still wishin'
You halfway out, I'm nailed to the floor (yeah)
Halfway out the door
[Verse 2]
You say you tired of the silence
I'm tryna turn this into dialogue
You talk like it's already past tense
I'm talkin' like we just hit pause
You say you're scared of the cycle
I'm scared of livin' with the cost
You scared of stayin' unhappy
I'm scared of knowin' what I lost
Who gets the plants?
Who gets the playlist?
You smilin' soft
Like you already faced this
I laugh it off
But the shake in my voice
Say I never really braced for
You makin' that choice (nah)
[Chorus]
You wanna leave
I wanna fix it
You call it peace
I call it distance
You say it's time
I say we missin'
Every reason that we fought for before
You call it love
That finally listened
I call it love
That went missin'
You say you're done
I'm still wishin'
You halfway out, I'm nailed to the floor
(You halfway out, I'm nailed to the floor)
Halfway out the door
[Bridge]
Is there a word I ain't said yet?
A truth I ain't bled yet?
You shrug like the answer's gone
I'm tryna drag this minute long
You reach for keys
I reach for your hand (wait)
You shake me off
Like dust from your plans
You walk away
Like you walked in before
I stay stuck, still talkin'
To a half-closed door (yeah)
