I try to replace each piece one by one
Dining out at our favorite mid-town dive
An endless list of goals that were left undone
It's been so long, I wondered if I'd ever arrive
Since that day that you walked out and slammed the door
I didn't know this was how long it would take
There was no way to prepare for the pain in finally letting go of my heartbreak
You used to say that nothing would change
But the look in your eye shows what's understood
For a long time I wish that you had only stayed
Now I know that there is no way you ever could
Since that day that you walked out and slammed the door
I didn't know this was how long it would take
There was no way to prepare for the pain in finally letting go of my heartbreak
All that time spent shedding countless tears, so many intervening years away
Since that day that you walked out and slammed the door
I didn't know this was how long it would take
There was no way to prepare for the pain in finally letting go of my heartbreak
