Lyrics
The coffee’s hot, your chair’s still empty Morning slips in quiet and slow You kissed me goodbye every morning But never looked back from the road
The front porch light stayed on till midnight Like it knew what I refused to see Funny how a house keeps believing Long after we stop believing
Every night we made decisions Neither one of us could see Yours were measured in the footsteps Mine in what I let them be
You chose distance one more evening I chose hoping you’d come home Funny how two different choices Left us both sleeping alone
Chorus
Love doesn’t leave in one goodbye It leaves in all the little choices One less touch, one more tomorrow One more silence louder than voices
It isn’t one heart breaking overnight It’s a thousand moments nobody notices Love doesn’t leave in one goodbye It leaves in all the little choices
You said we’d find our way together I believed every word was true But somewhere between the talking Our decisions stopped matching the truth
Your image still moves through me Like the wind through the trees Some things never really leave us They just live inside the memories
People think love ends with shouting Or one last slam of the door But by then it’s only leaving It started leaving long before
We always thought the big decisions Were the ones that changed our lives Turns out it was all the little ones Made before we said goodnight
Love doesn’t leave in one goodbye It leaves in all the little choices One less touch, one more tomorrow One more silence louder than voices
It isn’t one heart breaking overnight It’s a thousand moments nobody notices Love doesn’t leave in one goodbye It leaves in all the little choices
No one wakes up planning forever to end No one starts out wanting to be alone
It’s just a decision…
It’s just a decision…
It’s just a decision…
It’s just a decision…
Until one day…
There isn’t another one left to make.
