Toni Off - I Left the Door Open
текст песни

I still drive past that bar on the edge of town
Where we carved our names in the tabletop and tore the whole place down
I still got that flannel you left in my truck
Still smells like your perfume mixed with a little bit of bad luck
I used to sit in that parking lot, whiskey in a styrofoam cup
Praying you’d walk back out, praying I’d man up
But the neon kept buzzing and you never came
So i learned how to live with the burn of your name

Yeah, i got better
I quit tearing myself up every time the phone don’t ring
I quit blaming the mirror for the hell you put me in
I still miss you on fridays when the boys pour one out
But i don’t drown in it now
I learned how to hurt, then i learned how to heal
I still love you, girl, i probably always will
But i don’t fall apart no more when i hear our song
I just turn it up and sing along
Yeah, i got better
Better than i was when you left

Mama asked how i’m doing, i finally told the truth
Said “i’m good, i’m just good without you”
Still catch myself looking for your face in every crowd
But i don’t chase the ghost anymore, i just let it drift on out
I even danced with a stranger last saturday night
She had your eyes for a second, then the feeling passed by
I smiled, tipped my hat, walked away just fine
Didn’t need your memory to have a good time

Yeah, i got better
I quit sleeping with your voicemail on repeat
Quit driving by your house at 2 a.m. down your street
I still raise a glass when somebody says your name
But it don’t taste like pain
I learned how to miss you without losing my mind
I still love you, girl, but i’m loving me this time
I don’t break when the nights get long
I just turn that jukebox on
Yeah, i got better
Better than i was when you left

Maybe one day i’ll see you in some grocery store line
We’ll laugh about the wreck we made, say we’re both doing fine
And i’ll mean it
I swear to god i’ll mean it

Yeah, i got better
I quit hating the man you walked away from
I turned all that hurt into something i could hum
I still love you, girl, that ain’t ever gonna change
But i love me enough now to stay out of the flame
I got better
Yeah, i got better
Thank god i got better
After you left

I got better, baby
I got better
