I hope one day you realize

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I learned your coffee order, learned your moods Could tell when your whole day had gone rude I drove across town just to sit and watch you breathe Sat in crowded rooms where you didn't once look at me I gave you everything I had and called it choosing [Pre-Chorus] You'd go quiet and I'd fill in the sound I built a whole house on sinking ground I put you first until I couldn't find myself So when you left, I'd already lost someone else [Chorus] I saw it in the way you said my name Nothing wrong, nothing right, just the same So I wept in the car outside your street Loving you meant feeling everything, and I don't regret a thing [Verse 2] I bought the tickets, packed the bags, mapped the drive You said "someday" and I kept it alive There's a version of us that's still out there somewhere Walking through a door I'll never get to share Losing you was losing a whole set of days A kitchen, a kid, a slow Sunday haze [Verse 3] I still reach for your mug on the second shelf Still order two and drink the other one myself I drove past the restaurant where we first sat Didn't slow down, didn't turn back I'm learning how to hold a day that's only mine Learning how to take my time [Chorus] I saw it in the way you said my name Nothing wrong, nothing right, just the same So I wept in the car outside your street Loving you meant feeling everything, and I don't regret a thing [Bridge] I don't need a call or a written apology I just need it to land quietly When somebody's easy and never has to try I hope you hear my engine in the drive I hope you hear my engine in the drive [Outro] One day the truth will find you where you stand I was someone who would have stayed Who would have stayed I was someone who would have stayed
