Lyrics
Verse 1
You’re sitting three feet from meHands wrapped around your coffee cupYou nod at all the right placesBut you don’t ever look back upThere’s a suitcase in your silenceA one-way thought behind your eyesAnd I’m talking like we’re fine hereWhile you’re already saying goodbye
Pre‑Chorus
I can feel the empty chairThough your shoulder’s touching mineYou left before you left this roomYou just forgot to say the line
Chorus
You’re here, but you’re goneLike a radio playing with nobody homeI’m holding your handWhile you’re making your plansSomewhere I’ll never belongYou smile, but it don’t reachThere’s a mile of goodbye in the space when you speakI’d rather hear the truthThan keep losing youWith you sitting right here all along
Verse 2
The ceiling fan keeps turningThat old paint keeps flaking by the doorYou ask me if I’m tiredLike you haven’t watched me break beforeThere’s a ring around your glass nowAnd a cold spot where your jacket used to beI could beg you to stay longerBut I can’t make you stay with me
Pre‑Chorus
I can feel the empty chairThough your shoulder’s touching mineYou left before you left this roomYou just forgot to say the line
Chorus
You’re here, but you’re goneLike a radio playing with nobody homeI’m holding your handWhile you’re making your plansSomewhere I’ll never belongYou smile, but it don’t reachThere’s a mile of goodbye in the space when you speakI’d rather hear the truthThan keep losing youWith you sitting right here all along
Bridge
So go on and take your keysDon’t dress it up for meI know the look of a heartThat’s halfway down the roadIf you’re gonna leave this houseLet the front door tell me howDon’t make me sit beside a strangerJust to watch you go
Final Chorus
You’re here, but you’re goneLike a radio playing with nobody homeI’m letting your handGo make all your plansSomewhere I’ll never belongYou smile, but it don’t reachThere’s a mile of goodbye in the space when you speakI finally hear the truthI’ve been losing youSince before you stood up to leave me alone
Outro
The room is quiet nowBut it was quiet when you stayed
