[Verse 1]
Our little house feels big and empty
Just me and my shadow, here all alone
And I try to keep it the way you left it
Just in case you decide to come home
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now I'm staring at this paper that you left for me to sign
But I'm holding off in case you change your mind
[Chorus]
Was it something I did?
Was it something I didn't do?
Do you just need some time?
Maybe take one more night to think it through
Oh, I hope it's not hopeless
And you might come back to me
I don't wanna let go
'Cause I know what goodbye means
[Verse 2]
Was I breaking your heart, and you didn't show it?
Or when you tried to, I missed it somehow?
Was it there from the start? Should I have known it?
If I didn't hear you, well, I hear you now
[Pre-Chorus 2]
As I'm staring at this paper and the boxes by the door
'Til I can't see much of anything anymore
[Chorus]
Was it something I did?
Was it something I didn't do?
Do you just need some time?
Maybe take one more night to think it through
Oh, I hope it's not hopeless
And you might come back to me
I don't wanna let go
'Cause I know what goodbye means
[Bridge]
Is the truth too close, and the past too far away?
Is the future lost?
[Chorus]
Was it something I did?
Was it something I didn't do?
Do you just need some time?
Baby, take one more night to think it through
Oh, I hope it's not hopeless
And you might come back to me
I don't wanna let go
'Cause I know what goodbye means
[Outro]
I don't wanna let go
'Cause I know what goodbye means

A friend of mine was going through a divorce. It was pretty ugly, but he was being so kind. I asked him, ‘How are you being so nice right now? I don’t get it.’ And he said, ‘Because she might change her mind.’ I still get goosebumps thinking about it. We’ve all been there, not quite ready to accept...
