เนื้อเพลง

[Verse 1] Your ring left a dent On the bathroom sink You took the good couch And the last clean shirt I could think Kids' shoes by the door Still lined up in twos Now the hallway feels Like a room I never knew Old mug on the shelf Your name on the glass I keep reaching for you Like a train that's already passed The house stays awake But I don't [Pre-Chorus] I hear your keys in my head Every time the heat pipes bang I fold my hands for the kids Then I lose them all again And I hate that I still hope When I know what you chose [Chorus] You took my home, took my name Left me here to wear the blame Took my kids and broke my chain Now I'm just a man with rain I said move on, move on But I can't let go I said move on, move on When I stare at old photos [Verse 2] There's a yard sale box Full of school-day art Crayon suns and crooked cars Pinned up like a broken heart Little handprint blue On the back porch wall I scrubbed and scrubbed But I still see them all You found another life I found the floor Found my voice in a bottle Then I found it wanting more So I spit out the taste Try to stand up straight But every good-bye Still shows up late [Pre-Chorus] I hear your keys in my head Every time the house gets loud I say I'm done with the past Then I sink right back down And I hate that I still hope When I know what you chose [Chorus] You took my home, took my name Left me here to wear the blame Took my kids and broke my chain Now I'm just a man with rain I said move on, move on But I can't let go I said move on, move on When I stare at old photos [Bridge] [Tape-stop] I swear I tried I swear I tried To be the dad You left behind Their little laughs Still tear me open One folded shirt One door half-open If they ask where I went Tell them I stayed alive Tell them their old man Got hit too hard to hide I'm not the same But I'm still here Still breathing smoke Through the wreckage and fear [Breakdown] Take the frame off the wall Watch it shake in my hands Every smiling face Feels like I don't understand I miss the noise I miss the fight I miss my boys On a Friday night [Final Chorus] You took my home, took my name Left me here to wear the blame Took my kids and broke my chain Now I'm just a man with rain I said move on, move on But I can't let go I said move on, move on When I stare at old photos Move on, move on That's what everyone said Move on, move on With these ghosts in my head I said move on, move on But I can't let go I said move on, move on When I stare at old photos
