[Verse 1]
Baby, I don't like how long this gone's been
I figured I'd hear from you by now
How am I supposed to tell you I was wrong when
Well, you won't pick up or turn around?
[Pre-Chorus]
It ain't what you said, girl, it's what you didn't say
It's how slow you didn't go when you drove away
[Chorus]
It ain't the goodbye, it ain't your taillights
That keep me up all night with a half-empty glass
Girl, it's the knowin' you won't stop goin'
It's startin' to sink in, it ain't the leavin'
It's the not comin' back
[Post-Chorus]
(It ain't the leavin')
[Verse 2]
Well, how we gonna pick up where we left off (Where we left off)
If you don't pull back in the drive? (Pull back in the drive)
Yeah, I was countin' on one more chance to give you all I got
And that's the thought that's drivin' me outta my mind
[Chorus]
It ain't the goodbye, it ain't your taillights
That keep me up all night with a half-empty glass
Girl, it's the knowin' you won't stop goin'
It's startin' to sink in, it ain't the leavin'
It's the not comin' back
[Bridge]
Girl, it killed me when you slammed that door
Knowin' you won't walk back through kills me more
[Chorus]
It ain't the goodbye, it ain't your taillights
That keep me up all night with a half-empty glass (Half-empty glass)
Girl, it's the knowin' you won't stop goin'
It's startin' to sink in, it ain't the leavin'
It's the not comin' back
[Post-Chorus]
No, it ain't the leavin'
It's the not comin' back
[Outro]
(Startin' to sink in)
(It ain't the leavin')
