We
drew our years on the back of receipts Two
kids with cheap coffee making cities out
of dreams You said Paris in the spring,
a dog that looks
like you
I kept every scribble note like they were
coming true You picked the painful walls we never touch
I booked the tickets months ahead just
because You laughed and said slow down,
we've got
time I didn't know you would redraw the line
I was folding my whole life to fit inside your hands
You were quietly unfolding other plans
You left me holding blueprints of a life you don't want anymore
Floor plans and promises scattered on the floor
You said he fits your future better like I was just a draft
Now I'm measuring empty rooms with a heart that's cut in half
You met him at the right time,
wrong life He's got the job,
the timeline,
the fire,
hear it wipe I still taste the ring I never bought on my
tongue Still hear you saying one day like it wasn't
already done You packed in silence,
left the photos on
the wall Said keep them if you want,
they don't mean
much at all I watched you walk away in the coat I gave
you last December You kept the warmth,
left a memory for me
to remember I was building us forever with my bare hands
You were looking for someone who already had the land
You left me holding blueprints of a life you don't want anymore
Street names we invented,
kids we swore we'd afford You said he fits your future better
Cleaner lines,
straighter path I'm still here tracing
doorways that will never be walked through
Funny how we'll see turned into never so fast How
the house we almost built is just smoke in the past
I still set the table for two out of habit,
so nice Then remember you're decorating someone else's life
You left me holding blueprints that are starting to
fade in Crimes when you cry on the plans you once made
Go be his chapter,
his timeline,
his answered prayer I'll fold these dreams into paper planes
And let them fall somewhere you weren't there
The dog would've been named Milo You always liked that name
Guess someone else will call him home now
