At the bottom

I wore your jacket home in the rain

Said I was sorry for saying her name

You looked past me like a closing door

Left your key on the kitchen floor (ahhhh)

Your phone lit up beside my hand A heart I did not

understand I should have screamed,

I only smiled Watched you walk another mile (ooh)

I waited for you at the bottom!

While you were climbing out with her

I made a prayer out of your footsteps Still said sorry when

it hurt

I waited for you at the bottom!

(oh-oh, ahhhh)

You packed your lies in a midnight bag

Took the lift while my hands went slack

I heard her laugh through the open line

Still begged the blame to turn out mine (hmmmmm) I saw the

shape of what you chose

In the quiet where the truth arose You turned away, I

held the blame And learned the sound of my own name (ah-ah-ah)

I waited for you at the bottom!

Counted the floors you would not turn

You kissed goodbye like it was mercy

Left me holding what you burned I waited for you at the

bottom!

(oh-oh, yeah)

Maybe I loved you past the warning

Maybe I made your leaving mine

If I forgive you by the morning

I still keep the truth this time (ahhhh) I waited for you

at the bottom!

Now I am climbing out alone

I leave your coat where the rain came in

And I am finally going home (ooh, ahhhh)
