Stella, Why'd You Go?

Intro

(yeah)

Snow on the windshield

Late night drive home alone

Verse

Jonathon's staring at his phone again

Scrollin' through the pics from last summer

Stella's laugh frozen in pixels

He hits replay, but it don't hit the same

Called her up last night, voice all cracked

She said it's over, pack your shit and go

Now he's chain-smokin' on the porch swing

Midwest winter bitin' at his bones

Pre-chorus

Thought you were forever, yeah

Promised we'd make it through the gray

But you flipped the script, left him in the rain

Now he's drownin' in what you threw away

Chorus

Stella, why'd you go?

Left Jonathon bleedin' on the floor

Heart split wide, can't pick up the pieces no more

Stella, Stella, what'd you do him for?

(what'd you do him for?)

Stella, yeah, you broke him down

Jonathon's crashin', can't make a sound

Stella, Stella, turn it around

(turn it around)

Verse

I pull up to his place, basement light's on

He's sprawled on the couch with a half-empty case

Plays that mixtape you made him

Sings along soft, then screams the bridge

Texts me at 3 AM, "Man, she was it"

I say hang in there, but I know it's bullshit

Drive around these empty streets

Cornfields whisperin' his defeat

Pre-chorus

Thought you were forever, yeah

Promised we'd make it through the gray

But you flipped the script, left him in the rain

Now he's drownin' in what you threw away

Chorus

Stella, why'd you go?

Left Jonathon bleedin' on the floor

Heart split wide, can't pick up the pieces no more

Stella, Stella, what'd you do him for?

(what'd you do him for?)

Stella, yeah, you broke him down

Jonathon's crashin', can't make a sound

Stella, Stella, turn it around

(turn it around)

Bridge

One day he'll wake up, shake it off his skin

Find someone who stays when the cold rolls in

But tonight he's shattered, glass on the floor

Screamin' your name through a slammed door

(door, door)

Jonathon, hold on, brother

This pain ain't forever

Chorus

Stella, why'd you go?

Left Jonathon bleedin' on the floor

Heart split wide, can't pick up the pieces no more

Stella, Stella, what'd you do him for?

Stella, yeah, you broke him down

Jonathon's crashin', can't make a sound

Stella, Stella, turn it around

(turn it around, turn it around)

Outro

(yeah)

Snow on the windshield

Jonathon drives home alone

(alone, alone)
