After a divorce, I looked at my ex and realized how, after all the trouble was in the past, the right was living without each other. The song wrote itself after that.

Lyrics
The Right Thing (Is Living Without Me)
I can't remember the last time I heard you laugh.
And I can see that haunted place in your eyes is growing fast.
If I could find the right thing to do, what would it be?
Looks like the right thing is living without me.
The air's so thin it shatters like glass.
And my feet stumble through the wreckage of the past.
When we're face to face the future that I see
Looks like the right thing is living without me.
Oh I know how bad it's gonna be to say good-bye,
But there's no since in trying this hard
When everything you do makes me cry.
What else can I say but I hope for you the best.
I'll take back my heart, you can keep the rest.
I have a feeling that it won't take long to see
That the right thing is living without me.
