the good version: lyrics
- The coffee maker still has that weird trick
- Where you have to press the lid to make it click.
- I saw your old sweater in the bottom drawer,
- The one with the thread pull from the kitchen door.
- I thought about calling to tell you the news,
- But then I remembered which version I’d choose.
- It’s not the one who left his shoes in the hall,
- Or the one who didn't answer when I’d call.
- I don’t miss you, I just miss the start.
- The way you held my hand inside the park.
- I miss the version of him from the first three months.
- Before the letdowns happened all at once.
- I miss the version of him from the first three months.
- When everything was easy, just for once.
- You used to ask me how I slept each night,
- And leave the porch on so I’d have the light.
- Now I buy the groceries you didn't like,
- And took that solo trip on my mountain bike.
- It’s funny how the mind plays back the best parts,
- Like a highlight reel of two hopeful hearts.
- But the credits rolled a long, long time ago,
- And I’m finally okay with the end of the show.
- I don’t miss you, I just miss the start.
- The way you held my hand inside the park.
- I miss the version of him from the first three months.
- Before the letdowns happened all at once.
- I miss the version of him from the first three months.
- When everything was easy, just for once.
- Maybe he was never really there at all.
- Just a polite ghost standing in the hall.
- A ninety-day trial that I couldn't renew.
- I’m not crying for him, and I’m not crying for you.
- I don’t miss you, I just miss the start.
- The way you held my hand inside the park.
- I miss the version of him from the first three months.
- Before the letdowns happened all at once.
- I miss the version of him from the first three months.
- When everything was easy, just for once.
