[Verse 1]
You left your mug on the shelf
I almost kept it for the smell
Found your note in the drawer
I read it once, then read no more
You said "maybe later"
I said "sure"
But now the room feels lighter
Than it ever did before
[Pre-Chorus]
I cried, then I slept
Then I saw the shape of it
All the little broken things
I was too afraid to name
[Chorus]
I wish it happened sooner
I wish it broke right then
I wish I lost you clean
Before I lost myself again
I wish it happened sooner
So I could breathe again
I wish it happened sooner
(so I could breathe again)
[Verse 2]
Your shoes by the door are gone
But I still hear you pacing on
Every old apology
Turned into a quiet peace
I don't miss the shouting
I miss the plan
The one we kept pretending
We could still repair by hand
[Pre-Chorus]
I cried, then I slept
Then I saw the shape of it
All the little broken things
I was too afraid to name
[Chorus]
I wish it happened sooner
I wish it broke right then
I wish I lost you clean
Before I lost myself again
I wish it happened sooner
So I could breathe again
I wish it happened sooner
(so I could breathe again)
[Bridge]
Now the sink is empty
And the air is mine
No more half-said promises
No more borrowing time
I don't call it winning
I just call it clear
What I thought would kill me
Turned out to be relief
[Final Chorus]
I wish it happened sooner
I wish it broke right then
I wish I lost you clean
Before I lost myself again
I wish it happened sooner
So I could breathe again
I wish it happened sooner
(so I could breathe again)
