Lyrics
My heart exploded
the millisecond that you left that night
and I guess I honestly felt
that if I was fixing myself
you'd let me try just one more time
But baby, the front door
it's still wide open
and every second hand click of the clock
says you're not coming back home
I'm having a hard time
because my heart's broken
and I pray every day
that you're not doing ok on your own
But in my bones I know
you'll be fine
that you don't need me or believe
that were worth the fight
I know my hopes a joke
but you're my bride
and you dont want me in the home that you eventually find
i feel it in my bones
I feel like everybody knows
something I don't
they look at me with heavy hearts
and act like they have no
idea I destroyed the only thing
I promised to uphold
and all I've got to show is a bunch of false hope
and these pictures on my phone
i got a letter from the government
says im officially alone
i made a mess of us
all because of fear in my life
i never gave enough
its always so damn clear in hindsight
