Lyrics

I packed up piece by piece left quiet
Left my laugh in June left my trust in July
Left the we we swore in a box by the light
Still my keys on the hook made you think I might try
You warmed the bed but you never warmed my name
So I slept beside a stranger with your face
I called for help in a language you forgot
Now I'm fluent in goodbye without a trace
My mind left first then my heart took flight
You only noticed when I stopped the fight
I'm not walking out baby I already did
I've been fading in the corners where you live
My mind and my heart left first before my feet every time
You kept the body in the room but you lost what made it mine
I said I love you out of habit till the echo turned to lies
My mind and my heart left first now my footsteps just arrive
I wore my promises thin like Sunday lace
Smiled through storms you swore were just a phase
We set the table ate around the truth
Left the plates of sorry always cold always smooth
I drew a map to us you wouldn't read
Bled ink in margins you refused to see
So I learned to fold the quiet into me
Left my always on the porch to finally breathe
My mind walked out when the small things died
My heart signed off where the soft should've stayed
You want a villain but I don't have rage
Just a suitcase with the love I couldn't save
My mind and my heart left first before my feet every time
You kept the body in the room but you lost what made it mine
I said I love you out of habit till the echo turned to lies
My mind and my heart left first now my footsteps just arrive
I rehearsed staying but the script kept breaking lines
You held my waist but never held my mind
If leaving is the villain in your story's eyes
Remember you taught me how to go when you forgot to try
Ooh ooh ooh mm mm
Ooh ooh ooh mm mm
My mind and my heart left first before my feet every time
You kept the body in the room but you lost what made it mine
I won't say maybe just to make you feel right
My mind and my heart left first my feet are late to goodbyes
Be gentle with whoever comes after me
Teach them how to stay
