Gabe in My Rearview

Songtext

[Verse 1] Gabe left a coffee ring On my little blue table Said he’d call me later Like he was trying to be able I wore my lucky boots You laughed at me in the hall Now your name is in my phone Like a bruise I can’t ignore at all [Pre-Chorus] And I still see your truck In every parking lot My friends say let it go But my heart says I forgot [Chorus] Gabe, you broke my heart (Gabe, you broke my heart) Now I sing it in the dark (Gabe, you broke my heart) You were sweet, then gone Left me holding on Gabe, you broke my heart And I hate that you still come up [Verse 2] Your hoodie’s on my chair Your voicemail in my ears I keep reaching for your shadow Like it’s something that stays here Mama said, “Girl, that boy Ain’t worth your Friday tears” Still I laugh at every memory Then I cry when no one’s near [Pre-Chorus] You said “baby, don’t wait up” Then you vanished by noon I learned your kind of weather Changes fast and leaves too soon [Chorus] Gabe, you broke my heart (Gabe, you broke my heart) Now I sing it in the dark (Gabe, you broke my heart) You were sweet, then gone Left me holding on Gabe, you broke my heart And I hate that you still come up [Bridge] I took your picture down From the mirror by my bed Took the road past your place And didn’t turn my head Maybe this ache will fade Like a scar that learns to sleep But tonight it’s still your name That’s keeping me up deep [Chorus] Gabe, you broke my heart (Gabe, you broke my heart) Now I sing it in the dark (Gabe, you broke my heart) You were sweet, then gone Left me holding on Gabe, you broke my heart And I’m finally letting go
