Intro

(Ooh)

(Yeah)

Verse 1

The damp towel on the bathroom door is finally dry

I haven't moved those scuffed boots you left by the radiator

You took the long charger and the sense of security

I’m just watching the dust settle on your empty dresser

Pre-Chorus

You were counting down the minutes while I was counting the days

Your eyes were already fixed on the exit sign

(Already gone)

I was building a foundation on shifting sand

Chorus

I was the only one standing in the hallway

I was the only one keeping the engine running

You were a ghost before you even walked out of the frame

I was the only one who didn't get the memo

(The only one)

Verse 2

I saw your location updated at that bar downtown

You look remarkably unburdened in that blurry photo

I'm still picking your stray hairs out of my brush

Holding a breath I should've let go three weeks ago

Pre-Chorus

You were counting down the minutes while I was counting the days

Your eyes were already fixed on the exit sign

(So far away)

I was building a foundation on shifting sand

Chorus

I was the only one standing in the hallway

I was the only one keeping the engine running

You were a ghost before you even walked out of the frame

I was the only one who didn't get the memo

Bridge

It’s funny how the silence has a physical weight

It’s pressing me down into the cold floorboards

You didn't even check the rearview to see if I was watching

(You didn't even look)

(No, you didn't look)

Chorus

I was the only one standing in the hallway

I was the only one keeping the engine running

You were a ghost before you even walked out of the frame

I was the only one who didn't get the memo

Outro

Just the hum of the fridge now

(The only one)

Just the hum of the fridge

(Yeah)

```
