Every Band That Ever Broke Up

Verse

Found your old guitar by the window, still tuned to that song

Fingerprints on the fretboard where my name goes wrong

Bassline's rusted quiet but it still hums through the floor

I'm the only one left holding onto something I don't understand anymore

Pre-Chorus

So what do you do with a chord that still knows your name

When the rest of us are scattered, and nothing feels the same

Chorus

Every band that ever broke up sings it on a Tuesday night

I keep your old guitar plugged in under fluorescent light

No crowd, just the hum of the amp, holding on to the glow

Everybody moves away but I still know every note you wrote

So let it ring till my palms get sore, I don't care anymore

Verse

Left a message on the corkboard, scribbled in ink that's faded to blue

Said 'come back for coffee' like I still believed we'd do

The rent was always overdue but the music never slept

I kept it alive on Tuesdays at 2 AM when the whole world else was asleep

Pre-Chorus

So what do you do with a chord that still knows your name

When the rest of us are scattered, and nothing feels the same

Chorus

Every band that ever broke up sings it on a Tuesday night

I keep your old guitar plugged in under fluorescent light

No crowd, just the hum of the amp, holding on to the glow

Everybody moves away but I still know every note you wrote

So let it ring till my palms get sore, I don't care anymore

Bridge

Maybe that's why I still wear your faded band tee

Just a shirt, or a reason to stay in this room

It's not a memory, it's a melody out of tune

And I'm holding onto it like it's the only one

Chorus

Every band that ever broke up sings it on a Tuesday night

I keep your old guitar plugged in under fluorescent light

No crowd, just the hum of the amp, holding on to the glow

Everybody moves away but I still know every note you wrote

So let it ring till my palms get sore, I don't care anymore
