The Day We Became Two

[Intro]

[Soft piano, distant electric guitar]

Your keys were on the table

My coat was by the door

We'd said a thousand little things

But never said what for

[Verse 1]

You folded up your favorite shirt

I watched you pack it slow

As if the time between our hands

Was something we could sew

The hallway held our photographs

The kitchen held our years

And every room we used to fill

Was learning how to disappear

[Pre-Chorus]

No shattered glass

No final fight

Just two hearts losing

The will to try

[Chorus]

That was the day we became two

Two separate skies, no shared moon

Two cups of coffee, one empty bed

A thousand words we left unsaid

You took your side of every dream

I kept the ghosts of you and me

We didn't stop the world from turning

We just stopped turning home

That was the day we became two

And learned to be alone

[Verse 2]

You stood outside beneath the rain

And looked at me once more

I nearly crossed the distance

Like I'd done a thousand times before

But love can fill a lifetime

And still not make things right

So I watched your shadow leave me

And went home to half a life

[Pre-Chorus]

No shattered glass

No last goodbye

Just all the love

We couldn't keep alive

[Chorus]

That was the day we became two

Two separate skies, no shared moon

Two cups of coffee, one empty bed

A thousand words we left unsaid

You took your side of every dream

I kept the ghosts of you and me

We didn't stop the world from turning

We just stopped turning home

That was the day we became two

And learned to be alone

[Bridge]

[Drums build, guitars rise]

Maybe somewhere you'll be laughing

With a life I won't know

Maybe I'll be doing better

Than the man I was before

But tonight the walls remember

Every promise, every sound

And I can't tell if I'm still standing

Or just haven't fallen down

[Final Chorus]

That was the day we became two

Two broken maps with roads we knew

You have your mornings, I have mine

Two different clocks, two different times

We were a kingdom built for two

Now every room remembers you

The world kept turning, we kept breathing

But home became a place

We couldn't go

[Outro]

[Piano alone]

Your keys are gone

Your side is cold

The story's young

The night is old

Tomorrow comes

As mornings do

But yesterday

Still looks like you
