we both know (it hurts) lyrics

Your toothbrush's still In the same old cup I keep walking past it But I don't pick it up Our coffee mugs holding Dust and air I still set two plates Like you'll be there It hurts But we both know This is where the story has to go I'm clinging to the ghost of us But my hands won't close It hurts But we both know Staying would just scrape the soul So I'm learning how to lose you slow 'Cause we both know Your sweater sleeps On the second chair I tried throwing it out Couldn't get down the stairs Your name lights up But I don't press call Reading every word We'll never say at all It hurts But we both know This is where the story has to go I'm clinging to the ghost of us But my hands won't close It hurts But we both know Staying would just scrape the soul So I'm learning how to lose you slow 'Cause we both know I don't want to heal If healing means Waking up one day And you're just a scene But loving you here Is a dead-end road So I'm packing my heart And I walk alone (yeah) It hurts But we both know This is where the story has to go I'm clinging to the ghost of us But my hands won't close It hurts But I let go Whispering goodbye real low There's no way back to what we broke And we both know
