Tonnage Heartbreak

[Verse 1]
Ran into you at the grocery line
Name tag wife on your left side
Little girl hiding in your coat
You laughed
Said
"Man
How life goes"
I remembered when we planned that road
You and me
One key
One home
Now your cart's full of cereal
Milk
My chest full of concrete and guilt
[Chorus]
It's a tonnage heartbreak
Crashing through me in a second
All that weight I thought I’d shaken
Hits me harder than it did back then
You say you're happy
And I smile like I'm okay
But watching you unload that life you made
Is a tonnage heartbreak
[Verse 2]
You asked
"You still live across town?"
I said
"Yeah
Just me and my doubts"
You said
"You’ll find someone
You will"
Your son tugged hard at your sleeve for a toy on the belt
You paid
You waved
You were out the door
Your kids argued over who'd sit where in the car
I stood there with my frozen meals
And a love I never learned to heal
[Chorus]
It's a tonnage heartbreak
Crashing through me in a second
All that weight I thought I’d shaken
Hits me harder than it did back then
You say you're happy
And I smile like I'm okay
But watching you unload that life you made
Is a tonnage heartbreak
[Bridge]
Thought the past was packed up
Boxed in
Guess it’s hiding in the small things
Like your hand reaching for your ring
Like my throat tightening
[Chorus]
It's a tonnage heartbreak
Crashing through me in a second
All that weight I thought I’d shaken
Hits me harder than it did back then
You say you're happy
I walk out into the rain
Let the sky take what my chest can’t take
This tonnage heartbreak (oh)
This tonnage heartbreak

pop, Glossy midtempo pop with male vocals, palm-muted guitars over warm synth pads and tight drums. Verses stay close and conversational, bass pulsing softly; chorus widens with stacked harmonies and bright piano stabs. Short bridge strips to vocal and pads, then final chorus hits with extra ad-libs and lifted melody, clean radio-ready mix.
