[Intro]
If I had known you were gonna leave
Maybe my heart
Coulda learned how to say it
How to say goodbye (yeah)
[Verse 1]
We were talkin' 'bout a place with a yard and a porch
You were laughin' at my shoes, I was stuck on your voice
We were drawin' little hearts on receipts from the store
You were wearin' my hoodie like it’s part of your soul
We were up all night, plans on the phone
Name on a lease, same kind of home
You said “promise me, promise you’ll never fold”
So I wrapped both hands 'round the words you told
[Chorus]
We gave each other a promise we could believe in (believe in)
We had hope in tomorrow, a future we could see in (yeah)
If I had known you were gonna leave, I’d learn goodbye
But my heart, my heart
My heart won't say goodbye (nah)
We gave each other a promise we could believe in (believe in)
We had hope in tomorrow, now I’m stuck in the evening
If I had known you were gonna leave, I’d learn goodbye
But my heart, my heart
My heart won't say goodbye
[Verse 2]
You left your brush in the cup by the sink
Your cologne in the drawers, your name in the ink
Of that letter that you folded, said you “needed to think”
Left a key on the counter, I just stared at the ring
All these photos on the fridge, all the birthdays you came
Every candle that you lit, every nickname you gave
How you held me when I shook, how you carried my shame
Now I hold every silence and I carry the blame
[Chorus]
We gave each other a promise we could believe in (believe in)
We had hope in tomorrow, a future we could see in
If I had known you were gonna leave, I’d learn goodbye (goodbye)
But my heart, my heart
My heart won't say goodbye (won't say)
We gave each other a promise we could believe in (believe in)
We had hope in tomorrow, now my chest feelin' uneven
If I had known you were gonna leave, I’d learn goodbye
But my heart, my heart
My heart won't say goodbye (yeah)
