The Way the Story Broke

[Verse 1] You were still in his shirt When you opened the door Said "It’s not what you think" On our bedroom floor His watch on my nightstand His laugh in the hall You reached for my hand Like I owed you it all [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t scream Didn’t beg Didn’t break Just watched every promise Turn into a blank [Chorus] This is not the way the story broke Not the scene I thought would end us I imagined fire I imagined smoke Instead it's just your silence You cheated Then you choked on your own lie I watched the color drain out of your eyes You reached for me But the words got stuck This isn’t karma This is crueler bad luck [Verse 2] You followed me downstairs Bare feet on cold tile Kept saying my first name Like it might rewind time You tripped on the landing Hit your head on the rail Blood on our wedding frame Our vows turning pale [Pre-Chorus] I called out his number It went straight to tone He never picked up To claim what he owned [Chorus] This is not the way the story broke Not the scene I thought would end us I imagined fire I imagined smoke Instead it's just your silence You cheated Then you slipped and lost the light I held your hand and tried to stop the night You mouthed "I’m sorry" but your lungs gave up This isn’t justice This is crueler bad luck [Bridge] I signed as "widower" On forms in the spring (oh) They asked about history I left out one thing Your mother wears black And calls me her son Says "She loved you so much" I just bite my tongue [Chorus] This is not the way the story broke Not the end I tell our neighbors I say "accident" and change my coat Hide the stains Hide the failures You cheated Then you died between my arms Now I guard your name like a broken charm You escaped the blame when your heart gave up I live the sentence You got cruel Clean luck
