That Head Tilt
Verse 1
You do that thing where you tilt your head
Like you're listening to something I can't hear
And I memorized the angle, every thread
Of hair that falls across your ear
We had a year of Sunday mornings
Coffee getting cold while we stayed in bed
Now you're standing in the doorway warning
Me that you need space inside your head
The way you look at me has shifted
Like I'm a stranger you used to know
Chorus
I knew we weren't gonna be Mr. and Mrs. forever
But I saw us as Mr. and Mrs. right now
Walking through the grocery store together
Making plans we'd never figure out how
To keep, but keeping them anyway
Now you're packing up your yesterday
Verse 2
You walked away in March and came back in June S. you missed the way I make you laugh
But something in the air had changed its tune
We were trying to love with only half
The heart we had before you left me
Standing by the kitchen sink alone
Your coffee cup still sits there, empty
Like a question with no answer zone
The space beside me in the bed
Still holds the shape of what we were
Chorus
I knew we weren't gonna be Mr. and Mrs. forever
But I saw us as Mr. and Mrs. right now
Walking through the grocery store together
Making plans we'd never figure out how
To keep, but keeping them anyway
Now you're packing up your yesterday
Bridge
I'm sorry I couldn't be who you wanted me to be
But I can't apologize for loving honestly
The version of myself that made you stay
Before you knew you'd have to walk away
I see you in the mirror sometimes
In the way I tilt my own head
Listening for the echo of your voice
In everything I never said
Final Chorus
I knew we weren't gonna be Mr. and Mrs. forever
But I saw us as Mr. and Mrs. right now
Walking through the grocery store together
Making plans we'd never figure out how
To keep, but keeping them anyway
Now I'm packing up my yesterday
Learning how to love the space you left
Without calling it theft
