[Verse 1] You left your blue coat on my chair The one with paint along the sleeve I still make room beside the stairs Like you might come back for your keys [Pre-Chorus] Then I saw her silver watch Caught in the photo by your glass You said you needed something more I guess you found it fast [Chorus] You traded our small kitchen table For a name on a hotel door She can give you all the rooms you wanted I gave you what you came here for Now your number sits beneath my thumb While the kettle cools alone You chose the life that costs much more And left me with our home [Verse 2] Your mother called to ask about you I said you’re doing fine these days I didn’t tell her how your Sunday shirt Still hangs behind the doorway [Pre-Chorus] You said love couldn’t pay the rent Said I was holding you too tight I watched you fold the future up And carry it into her ride [Chorus] You traded our small kitchen table For a name on a hotel door She can give you all the rooms you wanted I gave you what you came here for Now your number sits beneath my thumb While the kettle cools alone You chose the life that costs much more And left me with our home [Bridge] Maybe you’ll miss the chipped blue mugs The rain that tapped the window frame I hope the price tag feels like comfort When she forgets your middle name [Final Chorus] You traded our small kitchen table For a name on a hotel door She can give you all the rooms you wanted I gave you what you came here for I’ll take your picture from the shelf When I can stand to leave it there You chose the life that costs much more I hope it treats you fair [Outro] Your blue coat’s folded by the stairs I’ll give it back, but not tonight
