Why I'm Leaving

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh

Verse 1

Packed my bag at midnight

You were sleeping in the hall light

I counted all the reasons on my fingers

Every single one still lingers

You said love was just a habit

Something you could wear and then forget

But I'm not a coat you hang up

Not a picture that you frame up

Pre-Chorus

And the silence in our kitchen

Tells me everything I needed

Every word that you've been missing

I've been bleeding

Chorus

This is why I'm leaving

Not the fights or the evenings

It's the way you stopped believing

That I was worth keeping

This is why I'm walking

Through the door without talking

If love is just a habit

I can't live inside your pocket

Verse 2

You remembered my coffee order

But forgot my mother's daughter

You knew every song I hated

Never learned the one I waited on

I built a home around your shadow

Watered flowers that don't grow

And the garden's turning gray now

So I'm walking away now

Pre-Chorus

And the quiet in our hallway

Echoes louder than your shouting

Every promise that you gave me

Had no meaning

Chorus

This is why I'm leaving

Not the fights or the evenings

It's the way you stopped believing

That I was worth keeping

This is why I'm walking

Through the door without talking

If love is just a habit

I can't live inside your pocket

Bridge

Mm the doorway holds my shadow

Fading soft into tomorrow

What you loved was just an outline

And I'm done being your outline

Chorus

This is why I'm leaving

Not the fights or the evenings

It's the way you stopped believing

That I was worth keeping

This is why I'm walking

Through the door without talking

If love is just a habit

I can't live inside your pocket

Outro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh

Gone
