[Verse 1]
I left your sweater
On the passenger seat
It still smells like rain
And that cheap motel soap
Your name in my phone
Looks smaller each day
Like a note in my pocket
Folded six ways
I keep the porch light low
So I don't have to choose
Between coming home
And losing you
[Pre-Chorus]
And I tried to say it clean
But my mouth turned to dust
I tried to be the man
You could still trust
[Chorus]
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
I was almost okay
Then I saw your face
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
I keep breaking soft
In the same old place
[Verse 2]
The screen door slams
When the wind gets mean
I stand there frozen
In the frame of the screen
Your coffee cup
Still has a ring on the rim
I washed it twice
But I left the chip in
I count the cracks
In the kitchen tile
Like every small thing
Could keep me awhile
[Pre-Chorus]
And I tried to be brave
But I split at the seam
I tried to stay small
And disappear clean
[Chorus]
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
I was almost okay
Then I saw your face
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
I keep breaking soft
In the same old place
[Bridge]
[whispered]
If I get loud, I mean it
If I go still, I feel it
I held my breath too long
Now it's coming apart
I wore your silence
Like a nail in my heart
[shouting]
Say my name
Say it like you mean it
Say my name
Say it like you mean it
[Final Chorus]
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
I was almost okay
Then I saw your face
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
I keep breaking soft
In the same old place
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
If you leave me here
I'll stay in the ache
