Losing You Was the Best Part

Verse

Spilled sugar on the counter, your laugh still in the air

July light on the window, you tangled in my hair

I learned the shape of your shoulder before I knew your name

Fell like a coin in a fountain, didn't care where it came down

Pre-Chorus

Was I supposed to see it coming

Did you feel it too

Every ending has a lesson

I found mine in you

Chorus

Losing you was the best part

Taught me how to open up my heart

Every door that closed behind

Set a truer one to find

I'm not broken, I'm not lost

I'm just counting what it cost

And it's cheap next to the start

Losing you was the best part

Verse

Two years of borrowed sweaters, a key that changed the lock

Your voice still lives in songs I skip past on the clock

But I traded all that quiet for a house that's finally mine

Turns out losing you was just my own light coming online

Pre-Chorus

Was I supposed to see it coming

Did you feel it too

Every ending has a lesson

I found mine in you

Chorus

Losing you was the best part

Taught me how to open up my heart

Every door that closed behind

Set a truer one to find

I'm not broken, I'm not lost

I'm just counting what it cost

And it's cheap next to the start

Losing you was the best part

Bridge

If you saw me now you wouldn't know me

Dancing in a kitchen built from scratch

No more waiting by a phone that's silent

No more losing pieces just to match

Thank you for the ache that made me steady

Thank you for the fall that taught me flight

I could send a letter but I'm ready

To just let it stay goodnight

Chorus

Losing you was the best part

Taught me how to open up my heart

Every door that closed behind

Set a truer one to find

I'm not broken, I'm not lost

I'm just counting what it cost

And it's cheap next to the start

Losing you was the best part

Losing you was the best part
