[Verse 1]
Streetlight on your sweater, coffee cups upon the floor
You whispered hollow promises, the clock just kept countin' more
I touched the scar above your jaw, a laugh we couldn't keep
Then silence slid between us, like rain against the street
I am going to go — I said it loud enough to hear
But the doorway stayed wide open, and the truth felt too near
Don't even do this to me — I tried to make you stay
Don't even look at me — the night won't give away
[Pre-Chorus]
Why did you leave me — was it me or just the night?
Why are you so sad? Why are you so angry?
Why did you leave me — was it love or was it fright?
Why are you so sad? Why are you so angry?
[Chorus]
I didn't go to you — I never walked out that door
I didn't do this to me — I'm not the one you lost before
I didn't go to you — say it with me if you choose
I didn't even do this to me, I didn't even do this to you
Love, love, love, love — it's echoing the room
Why are you so sad? Why are you so angry? — say it into the gloom
[Verse 2]
You left a sweater on the chair, the collar caught a thread
Two coffee rings on the kitchen table, where the words were never said
A postcard from the summer hangs like proof of what we were
You said the world would bend for us, then turned and closed the blur
I didn't go to you — I'm standing on the stairs
I didn't even do this to me — it's heavier than air
Don't even do this to me — don't hand me that goodbye
Don't even look at me — don't hollow out the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Why did you leave me — was it me or was it the tide?
Why are you so sad? Why are you so angry?
Why did you leave me — when the city held our stride?
Why are you so sad? Why are you so angry?
[Chorus]
I didn't go to you — I never walked out that door
I didn't do this to me — I'm not the one you left for
I didn't go to you — repeat it if it soothes
I didn't even do this to me, I didn't even do this to you
Love, love, love, love — falling like a truth
Why are you so sad? Why are you so angry? — what are we losing proof?
[Bridge]
I am going to go — maybe it's a bluff I throw
Maybe I'm leaving 'cause I don't know where to go
Maybe I'll stay, maybe I'll run — I don't know which is right
Maybe I'm shouting to the dark, or maybe just to light
Don't even look at me — don't make this harder still
Don't even do this to me — don't make my heart stand still
I am going to go, I am going to go — and yet I hesitate
I didn't go to you, I didn't go to you — I'm still here at the gate
[Chorus — Final]
I didn't go to you — I never walked out that door
I didn't do this to me — I'm not the one you left for
I didn't go to you — say it soft or say it loud
I didn't even do this to me, I didn't even do this to you now
Love, love, love, love — like lightning through the truth
Why are you so sad? Why are you so angry? — we're both just bruised
[Outro]
I am going to go, I am going to go — whispered like a plea
Don't even look at me — and still I hope you'll see
I didn't go to you — I didn't even do this to—
