[Verse 1]

There's a dress in the closet, that I just can’t throw away

I know it might sound crazy, but I haven't changed your pillowcase

A heart half full, or half empty

Is half gone either way, with you gone

What went wrong?


[Chorus]

Maybe the hardest part

Is we didn't break this heart

Nobody cheated or lied

I still have to live with goodbye

But how can I just move on?

I’ve loved you for way too long

I don't want to admit that you're gone

I don't wanna write this song

Don't wanna write this song


[Verse 2]

Another glass of whiskey, by your picture in a frame

I'm playin' all the black keys and cryin' out your name

I’m holdin’ on, or lettin' go

It’s gonna kill me either way

With you gone

Oh


[Chorus]

Maybe the hardest part

Is we didn't break this heart

Nobody cheated or lied

I still have to live with goodbye

But how can I just move on?

I've loved you for way too long

I don't want to admit that you’re gone

I don't wanna write this song

Don't wanna write this song


[Bridge]

Bobby pins on the dresser

Wilted flowers in a vase

I left a rose on your headstone

I never quite know what to say


[Chorus]

Maybe the hardest part

Is we didn't break this heart

Nobody cheated or lied

I still have to live with goodbye

But how can I just move on?

I've loved you for way too long

I don't want to admit that you're gone

I don't wanna write this song

No, don't wanna write this song

I don't wanna write this song

Mmm, don't wanna write this song, whoa
