Paper Cup Goodbye

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your key on the counter Next to the lemons and salt I stared at it way too long Like it might bring you back to the hall I wore your hoodie to bed Just to sleep through the shock But morning came in too fast And the floor felt hard as a rock [Pre-Chorus] I kept your text in my hand Like a small live wire Then I saw the blue tick fade And the ache climbed higher [Chorus] First breakup, first crash I didn’t know it could hit like that First breakup, first sting You were my everything First breakup, first night I cried in the bathroom light (the bathroom light) First breakup, first fall I thought you were it after all [Verse 2] Your cereal bowl stayed by the sink Mine sat clean in the rack I made two coffees out of habit Then poured one down the crack My friends said, “Come out tonight” I said, “Maybe in a while” I learned your name in my throat Can still break me with one mile [Pre-Chorus] I walked past where we kissed By the bus stop sign Funny how a little place Can hold a whole goodbye [Chorus] First breakup, first crash I didn’t know it could hit like that First breakup, first sting You were my everything First breakup, first night I cried in the bathroom light (the bathroom light) First breakup, first fall I thought you were it after all [Bridge] Now I know this hurts in waves Not all at once I’m still me with a broken frame Still learning how to want Maybe one day I’ll laugh At the way I shook But right now I’m just a page Torn out of a book [Final Chorus] First breakup, first crash I didn’t know it could hit like that First breakup, first sting You were my everything First breakup, first night I cried in the bathroom light (the bathroom light) First breakup, first fall I thought you were it after all First breakup, first spark Still leaving marks in the dark First breakup, first ache This is the first heartache
