The Train That Took You

Verse 1

Cold air on the platform

Your suitcase wheels rolling slow

I memorized your shoulders

The way you'd always let them go

January rain on my collar

You wouldn't turn around to see

I counted every step you took

One last time away from me

Pre-Chorus

And the whistle blew

I couldn't move

Like my feet were made of stone

Every part of me

Just begging you

To please come back home

Chorus

Watching you leave is tearing me apart

Right through the glass I can't touch

I watched the train take all I ever knew

And I'm left holding nothing much

(Nothing much)

Holding nothing much

Verse 2

Your perfume's on my pillow still

Mixing faint with morning grey

I traced the letters in your note

Read them till the words gave way

Funny how a stranger's smile

Seems to sound just like your voice

My hands keep reaching out to find

A shadow with no choice

Pre-Chorus

And the door it closed

Where your body stood

Now the hallway feels so wrong

Every heartbeat knows

You were always good

And I'm left just singing songs

Chorus

Watching you leave is tearing me apart

Right through the glass I can't touch

I watched the train take all I ever knew

And I'm left holding nothing much

(Nothing much)

Holding nothing much

Bridge

Maybe in another lifetime

Maybe in a different light

I would be the one you run to

I would hold you through the night

(Through the night)

Chorus

Watching you leave is tearing me apart

Right through the glass I can't touch

I watched the train take all I ever knew

And I'm left holding nothing much

(Nothing much)

Holding nothing much

Outro

Holding nothing much

(Oh, holding on)

Holding nothing much
