This Heartbreak

Intro

oh-oh, ah-ah (yeah)

Verse

Your name is still a dent in my phone, (stay)

I scroll and I pretend that I'm not alone

The kettle sings the same old song we knew

I pour two cups, but only one is true

Your jacket hangs like a map of where you went

I trace the thread, the smell, the argument

There’s a photograph with corners worn and white

I keep it face-up when I sleep at night

Pre-chorus

And every small thing says you might come back

But the door stays shut, the hallway's slack

I practice saying you're okay, you're fine

And it gets stuck between the lines (uh)

Chorus

This heartbreak sounds like quiet thunder

This heartbreak keeps me wondering, wondering (oh)

You broke the rooms, you left the light on

This heartbreak, this heartbreak goes on (goes on)

This heartbreak, this heartbeat — wait, don't say that word

This heartbreak, this heartbreak holds on

Verse

I drive past our old diner, see your name on the glass

The waitress waves like we were never in the past

I keep the receipts from nights we felt alive

I fold them twice, I fold them like a lie

Your laugh is on the radio, it cuts the reverb (yeah)

I turn the station and I curse the silence worse

There’s salt in every sentence I try to write

There’s a missing you that keeps the page too white

Pre-chorus

And every small light paints your face on the wall

I tell myself it's better, that I'll stand tall

But the words come out soft and they won’t align

So I hum an empty chorus just to pass the time (ah-ah)

Chorus

This heartbreak sounds like quiet thunder

This heartbreak keeps me wondering, wondering (oh)

You broke the rooms, you left the light on

This heartbreak, this heartbreak goes on (goes on)

This heartbreak, this heartbreak holds my name

This heartbreak, this heartbreak won't change

Bridge

Na-na, na-na, I count the steps to your door

Na-na, na-na, then I stop, I can't anymore

Uh-huh, uh-huh, I fold the map and let it fall

Uh-huh, uh-huh, I whisper nothing at all (yeah)

Chorus

This heartbreak sounds like quiet thunder

This heartbreak keeps me wondering, wondering (oh)

You broke the rooms, you left the light on

This heartbreak, this heartbreak goes on (goes on)

This heartbreak, this heartbreak is a slow drum

This heartbreak, this heartbreak won't come undone

Outro

ah-ah, oh-oh, (stay)
