[Verse 1]
You packed your half of the dresser
Left your ring in the kitchen sink
Said
"I can’t do this
I’m sorry"
Then you left before I could blink
Little shoes by the front door
Her blanket still in your seat
Our boy crying in his high chair
Milk drying on his cheeks
[Chorus]
You walked out and left me holding
Half the home and all the heartache
Two small hands in mine
I’m choking
On the promise you just broke in me
I’m screaming at the ceiling
Shaking
But I won’t let them see me fall
You walked out and left us broken
I’m the one who’s catching it all
[Verse 2]
3 a.m. on the hallway floor
One kid sick
The other can’t sleep
Your ghost leans on the doorway
But it’s just cracks in the white paint peeling
Cartoons on like a lifeline
Cold coffee
Yesterday’s clothes
I say
"Mommy loves you
She’s hurting"
While I’m the one carrying the load
[Chorus]
You walked out and left me holding
Half the home and all the heartache
Two small hands in mine
I’m choking
On the promise you just broke in me
I’m screaming at the ceiling
Shaking
But I won’t let them see me fall
You walked out and left us broken
I’m the one who’s catching it all
[Bridge]
I am the midnight bottle warmer
I am the shield against their fears
I am the arms when storms get louder
I am the one still standing here (yeah)
You can run from what we started
But these kids
They get my name
I’ll turn every piece you shattered
Into armor for their days
[Chorus]
You walked out and left me holding
Half the home and all the heartache
Two small hands in mine
I’m choking
On the promise you just broke in me
I’m screaming at the ceiling
Shaking
But I won’t let them see me fall
You walked out and left us broken
But we’re stronger than you recall
Yeah
You left and thought we’d crumble
Watch us rise above it all (above it all)
