You should've stopped me lyrics

I was standing in the hallway looking for my keys Waiting for a don't go, begging on my knees But only in my head You were staring at the TV, shadows on your face Like I was just a ghost taking up your space I said I'm leaving for good and I meant it to sting But you didn't flinch, you didn't say a thing I was testing the ice waiting for it to break Counting every second all this hard heavy I was halfway out the door lingering in the hall Just a desperate shadow waiting for your call You should have stopped me You should have grabbed my arm You should have told me believing would do was harm I wanted a reason, but put my suitcase down Instead, you let me walk across this lonely town Stay with me, what if it's the broken glass? But you just watched the moment pass Yeah, you should have stopped me Now I'm sitting in the motel drinking cold tea Wondering if you're even thinking about me Did you change the locks? Did you sleep on my side? Or are you finally enjoying the quiet and the cried? I play a dangerous game, I'll give you that But I didn't think you'd let it fall so flat Is this what you wanted? A house without a sound A victory for silence While I'm nowhere to be found I was screaming for rescue, I was signaling for help But you're the kind of fire that only burns itself You should have stopped me, you should have my own You should have told me that leaving was wrong I wanted a reason to put my suitcase down Instead, you let me walk across this lonely town Stay with me, want to fix the broken glass But you'll just watch the moment pass Yeah, you should stop, you should stop I was waiting, I was right there, I was waiting I was right there But the engine started and the road is long And now I'm just another forgotten song You let me go, why did you let me go? You should have stopped me
