The house is quiet except for the old floor creaks

And that clock that ticks like it's counting my defeat

Her picture still hangs in the hallway light

But her toothbrush ain't been touched since Tuesday night

We used to talk about forever on this porch swing

Now, I'm just talking to her memory

She said, "It wasn't anger, just empty hearts"

But how do you fix something torn apart?

She spelled it out slow with tears in her eyes

Like a slow goodbye that never says why

D.I.V.O.R.C.E

Her letters cut deeper than you could ever believe

It ain't just a word, it's the death of a dream

And I'm still sitting in the wreckage, where love used to be

D.I.V.O.R.C.E

Half of the closet is empty

Half of the beds cold

Half of my life gone, truth be told

The dog still waits by the door each day

Just like me, hoping she'll stay

I never cheated, I never lied

But love can drown even when you try

Now I drink to forget

Pray to forgive but this silence is louder than it ever been

She spelled it out slow with hands that shook

Like she was reading from a torn up book

D.I.V.O.R.C.E

A damn curse word written just for me

She took her heart and half of my soul

Left a man who don't feel whole

We built this life together

But she walked away

Letter by letter

Diesel out
