Sunset Before the Breakup

Verse

You left the coffee still brewing on the counter

Your jacket slung over my shoulders now like a surrender

The porch light's humming a tune I used to hum with you

Socks are missing, so is your phone, so is it true?

Pre-Chorus

I'm holding onto every single detail like a lifesaver

Every crumpled receipt that says we were here together

Tell me why do all the good memories hurt this way

Chorus

It's not goodbye if I get to keep the sunset

That golden hour before you left, it stayed on my skin

So I'm gonna hold onto tomorrow's weather

Even if it's just a memory of us again

Verse 2

Your old gym bag's still zipped up under the bed

The last text from your phone still stuck in my head

I kept that coffee warm until it turned to dust and stone

But I'd do it all again for one more song we own

Pre-Chorus

Maybe losing you is just a door swung open wide

Maybe this empty feeling's a chance to learn how to fly

So I'm folding your hoodie back into a memory box

Labeling the sadness 'closure

Chorus

It's not goodbye if I get to keep the sunset

That golden hour before you left, it stayed on my skin

So I'm gonna hold onto tomorrow's weather

Even if it's just a memory of us again

Bridge

Maybe someday this ache turns into a painting

Not of what we lost but what the losing taught me about living

I'll still miss the porch light and your name in lowercase

But right now, right now, I'm holding onto grace

Chorus

It's not goodbye if I get to keep the sunset

That golden hour before you left, it stayed on my skin

So I'm gonna hold onto tomorrow's weather

Even if it's just a memory of us again
