Yeah...
This house keeps every hard goodbye
In the grain and in the dust
I wore my pride like working boots
Tracked it through the things we loved
Now the table and the window frame
Hold a quiet I can't outrun
I was sure I'd have more time
Till the leaving had begun
I thought the hurt would cool itself
I thought your heart would wait
Now every night lays out the truth
A second too damn late I hear my name in the empty
room
Coming back the way I said it wrong Every crack in these
four walls knows Where I let a true love come undone
I'm not asking you to save me now
I'm not saying time was cruel
I just finally see the man I was
Standing guilty in this room
Your coat is gone but the hook still bends Like
it misses its old weight Coffee rings and a crooked chair Put
my failures on display You gave patience without a scene You gave
truth without a knife I gave promises thin as smoke And watched
them drift right out of sight Now the silence says it plain
Love don't leave without a reason I hear
my name in the empty
room Coming back the way I said it wrong
Every crack in these four walls knows Where I let a true
love come undone
If there's mercy in the air tonight Let it find what I
ruined young I'd give every hard excuse I had
Just to hold what
I had once If I could walk back through that door
I'd come in with open hands No courtroom in my chest tonight
Just a tired and honest man
So I sit where your laughter was
And let the last chord ring
Some lessons only reach the heart
When there's nothing left to sing
