[Verse 1]
Coffee’s getting cold on the table
Two chairs
One leaning away
Your suitcase waits in the hallway
Kids still think it’s a game
You say we’ve tried every angle
You say we’re both tired and done
I stare at our wedding photo
Counting everything we’d become
[Chorus]
I don’t want a brand-new life
I just want this one to mend
I don’t want to sign my name
Like we’re strangers at the end
Keep the picture on the fridge
Keep the shoes beside the door
I don’t want a broken heart
I want my family like before
[Verse 2]
They’re drawing houses with crayons
Four stick figures in a row
You pause
Then add in an extra
“Just in case
” you say
“you know”
How do I pack up a bedtime?
How do you split lullabies?
Who gets Christmas morning laughter?
Who explains the goodbyes?
[Chorus]
I don’t want a brand-new life
I just want this one to mend
I don’t want to sign my name
Like we’re strangers at the end
Keep the picture on the fridge
Keep the shoes beside the door
I don’t want a broken heart
I want my family like before
[Bridge]
Tell me there’s a way back home
Past every word we threw like stones
If there’s one last door to close
Let it be on letting go (oh please)
[Chorus]
I don’t want a brand-new life
I just want this one to mend
I don’t want to stand outside
Looking in through glass again
Keep the picture on the fridge
Keep the shoes beside the door
I don’t want a different dream
I want my family like before
