Verse
Ice in my drink, I'm a couple in
Was doin' alright ‘til it started then
That same old song I swore I was through
Now I know what the next line's gonna do
Pre-Chorus
Yeah I know that part, yeah I know that hurt
Comin' up right where it gets the worst
Chorus
I feel it comin' ‘fore it even starts
Like every word's got your name in the dark
That night, that road, your taillights fade
Just like the way you slipped away
I don't move, I just let it hurt
Sittin' here waitin' for the next verse
Verse
Waitin' for the sting of that one line
The one that always breaks me every time
But I'm still breathin', I'm still here
And the melody's never sounded so clear
Pre-Chorus
I know the words, I know how they hurt
But they’re just sounds, they’re just lines of a verse
Chorus
I feel it comin', now it's in my chest
Like every word's callin' out what I missed
That night, that word I didn't say
Right when you needed me to stay
I don't move, I just let it hurt
Sittin' here waitin' for the next verse
Bridge
It's the same three minutes, same words, same lines
Same goodbye playin' back in my mind
But for the first time, I ain't lookin' for the door
I let it play all the way… don't skip that part anymore
Chorus
I felt it comin' but I let it start
Let every word still hit my heart
That night, that word I didn't say
Still plays it back the same old way
I don't move, I just let it hurt
Outro
Sittin' here waitin' ...
Yeah, I'm still waitin'...
For the next verse.
