[Verse 1]
I left your porch with my hands in my coat
Your front step still knows how I choke
I said I’d go back and fix what I broke
But I broke us first with the truth I spoke
You held my face like you knew I was gone
Like you heard the train in the next room turn on
Now your ring on my tongue tastes bitter and cold
And I still see your name in the black of my phone
[Pre-Chorus]
I chose the hard road
I chose the old vows
Now every mile between us
Keeps coming back loud
[Chorus]
I can’t see you now
I can’t see you now
You were my whole world
And I let it go down
I can’t see you now
I can’t see you now
I said I’d save my home
But I lost you somehow
[Verse 2]
She asked if my heart was a house or a cage
I said I’m trying to be better these days
My wife needs the man I was running from
So I packed up my love and I bit my tongue
Your blue mug still sits by the sink in my mind
Your laugh hits hard at the wrong damn time
I pass that diner where we used to talk
And every red light feels like I forgot
[Pre-Chorus]
I chose the hard road
I chose the old vows
Now every mile between us
Keeps coming back loud
[Chorus]
I can’t see you now
I can’t see you now
You were my whole world
And I let it go down
I can’t see you now
I can’t see you now
I said I’d save my home
But I lost you somehow
[Bridge]
If love had a second life
I’d take the pain and stay
But I signed my name in smoke
And watched you fade away
I hear your voice in the dark
Then it cuts me in two
One part kept his promise
One part is still with you
[Final Chorus]
I can’t see you now
I can’t see you now
You were my whole world
And I let it go down
I can’t see you now
I can’t see you now
I tried to do the right thing
And I still lost you somehow
I can’t see you now
I can’t see you now
(see you now)
I said I’d save my home
But I lost you somehow
