You said goodbye like it meant nothing
Like it was easy, like it was clean
You walked away with half the silence
Left me here filling in between

I keep replaying every sign
Like maybe the truth will change its mind

I don't know why you had to leave
You didn't say what you couldn't be
But I'm not closing the door on you
Some things that leave still make it through

I look for you in unfamiliar places
Different streets, the same old rain
Every face almost reminds me
Hope's a habit I can't break

I won't pretend I'm letting go
I just learned how to wait slow

I don't know why you had to leave
You never told me what you need
I'm still here, I stayed the same
Calling your name without the blame

I won't say goodbye, I won't rehearse it
If you come back, I'll be honest
I believe in the long way round
Everything lost finds its way back around

I'll be right here if you return
Some lessons only time can learn
No last words, no closing sound
Everything that goes comes back around
