You Were Mine Till You Were

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You said you needed space, I gave you half the room Took my blue cup from your shelf that Sunday afternoon I boxed the books, you kept the plant we never knew Would lean toward every window like it still was home to you [Pre-Chorus] Then you were at her kitchen table Laughing like the ending was a fable [Chorus] You were mine till you were not Now she's wearing what I bought Calling me to ask if I’m okay While your jacket’s on her chair Like you left it waiting there Funny how a friend can make a break feel twice as bad You were gone, she knew the whole thing That’s the part I can’t forget [Verse 2] She knew the date, the little fights, the names your brothers had She heard me say I missed you, then she said, “That’s really sad” Now her profile picture shows your hand around her waist I tapped the heart by accident, then stared at it for days [Pre-Chorus] You both said it happened after Guess the calendar can’t make it matter [Chorus] You were mine till you were not Now she's wearing what I bought Calling me to ask if I’m okay While your jacket’s on her chair Like you left it waiting there Funny how a friend can make a break feel twice as bad You were gone, she knew the whole thing That’s the part I can’t forget [Bridge] Keep the mug, the keys, the Sunday seat Keep the songs you used to send to me I don’t need a courtroom or a scene Just don’t call this loyalty [Final Chorus] You were mine till you were not Now she's wearing what I bought Don’t call me to ask if I’m okay Let your jacket stay right there Let her learn your half-made plans Funny how a friend can make a break feel twice as bad You were gone, she knew the whole thing And I’m done pretending that’s okay [Outro] I took my blue cup home You can keep the rest
