[Verse 1]
His boots by the door
Still dusted with rain
Your hoodie on the chair
Still wearing his name
The sink full of cups
From the night you danced
Now the room keeps his shape
Like it wants one more chance
[Pre-Chorus]
You check your phone again
Like it might wake him up
Your hands shake in the dark
From a love too much
[Chorus]
I should've been there
I should've been there
When the whole world broke
And your heartbeat went under
I should've been there
I should've been there
Now I'm talking to air
And I'm split right open
[Verse 2]
You still hear him laugh
At the thrift store light
Finger on your wrist
Saying stay tonight
You remember that gas station
Midnight, summer heat
He bought two burnt coffees
And kissed your cheek
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the porch looks wrong
And the bed looks wide
Every little thing
Keeps his shadow alive
[Chorus]
I should've been there
I should've been there
When the whole world broke
And your heartbeat went under
I should've been there
I should've been there
Now I'm talking to air
And I'm split right open
[Bridge]
If love could drag you back
I'd tear through the floor
I'd call your name till my throat
Could do it no more
Tell me where you went
Tell me what I missed
I would've held you down
I would've fought that kiss
[Chorus]
I should've been there
I should've been there
When the whole world broke
And your heartbeat went under
I should've been there
I should've been there
Now I'm talking to air
And I'm split right open
[Outro]
His boots by the door
His shadow in the hall
You loved him to the edge
Now you're left with it all
