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
