Half the Suitcase

Isn't staying here
Tell me what you're taking
Tell me why you're scared

You been folding every sweater like the weather's gonna turn
I been calling it a phase like there's nothing I should learn
Got a calendar of evenings where we never said a thing
Now you're holding up a photograph deciding who to bring
I can point out all the bills that I handled on the first
But you needed conversation, not a list of what I'm worth
If you're leaving, I can hear it, I can take a little truth
I was spending all our future while I stopped showing you

Half the suitcase
Isn't staying here
Tell me what you're taking
Tell me why you're scared

Put the bag on the mattress, let the clothes stay there
I'm not blocking up the doorway, I'm just pulling up a chair
You can leave in the morning, you can leave before the dawn
But I want to hear the sentence that I've talked over so long
Not a promise made in panic, not a speech to make you stay
I can own what I was missing even if you walk away
You said finally you're listening, I said sorry it's this late
Now the room is full of silence we don't have to decorate

Half the suitcase
Open on the bed
No more talking round it
Say what hasn't been said

Half the suitcase
Isn't staying here
Tell me what you're taking
Tell me why you're scared

Half the suitcase
