[Verse 1]
I found your coat behind the door
Still carries dust from ’94
A threadbare sleeve, a broken hem
Still fits the shape you left back then

[Chorus]
And I still stand in the window light
Where you would hum low every night
The sun still finds that same old shelf
Where the light once fell on someone else

[Verse 2]
The fields are gold, the porch is gray
Your fiddle’s quiet where it lay
I close my eyes and hear the tune
That faded out one night in June

[Chorus]
And I still stand in the window light
Where you would hum low every night
The sun still finds that same old shelf
Where the light once fell on someone else

[Instrumental Solo: Fiddle or Dobro]

[Bridge]
Some hearts don’t break, they just wear thin
Like river stones, smooth from within
I talk to you in whispered rhymes
But the wind replies most every time

[Final Chorus]
And I still stand in the window light
Where you would hum low every night
The sun still finds that same old shelf
Where the light once fell on someone else
Yes, the light once fell on someone else

[Verse 1]
You left your boots out in the rain
Didn’t say a word, didn’t leave a name
The screen door sighed as it closed behind
A sound I still hear in my mind
[Fiddle echoes last line]

[Chorus]
This is the longest goodbye I’ve ever known
Still hear your voice in the walls of this home
You’re gone, but your shadow still passes me by
I’m living through the longest goodbye
[Fiddle solo fill on final line]

[Verse 2]
The kettle sings but the fire’s low
There’s dust where the curtains used to blow
The wind brings news I don’t ask to hear
Just your name like a ghost in my ear
[Fiddle phrase between lines; soft harmony on final line]

[Chorus]
This is the longest goodbye I’ve ever known
Still hear your voice in the walls of this home
You’re gone, but your shadow still passes me by
I’m living through the longest goodbye

[Instrumental Break: Full fiddle solo]

[Bridge]
If time could mend what love can’t hold
I’d send it chasing down that road
But some roads fade, and some just bend
And some goodbyes never end
[Fiddle rises at “end” then resolves down into final chorus]

[Final Chorus]
This is the longest goodbye I’ve ever known
Still hear your voice in the walls of this home
You’re gone, but your shadow still passes me by
I’m living through the longest goodbye
Yes, I’m still in the longest goodbye

[Fiddle Outro: reprise intro motif, fading to silence]

[Verse 1]
[soft acoustic guitar and gentle fiddle accent]
We cracked a dream, then stirred too fast
Tried to make a future from a broken past
Tossed in hope, and a dash of fear
Then watched it burn year after year

[Chorus]
[fiddle softly echoes between lines]
We’re unscrambling the eggs, baby
It ain’t pretty, but it ain’t crazy
Can’t un-mix the wrongs and rights
But we’re learnin’ how to turn down the fights
It’s not the way we thought love would go
But it’s better than not lettin’ it show
We can’t go back to what we wrecked
We’re just unscrambling the eggs

[Verse 2]
[guitar and fiddle continue gently, add soft vocal harmony on final line]
We cleaned the counter, swept the floor
Said things we should’ve said before
You poured the coffee, I packed the plates
We laughed a bit at all that weight

[Chorus]
[fiddle counter-melody and vocal harmony]
We’re unscrambling the eggs, darlin’
Not fixin’ love, just gently partin’
No more silence, no more steam
Just foldin’ out the half-cooked dream
It ain’t a win, but it sure feels kind
To leave with peace instead of blind
We can’t un-crack what time forgets
We’re just unscrambling the eggs

[Bridge]
[fiddle plays expressive solo between lines]
Some folks flip, some folks burn
Some just run when the pan won’t turn
But we just stayed and let it rest
And gave the mess our very best

[Final Chorus]
[drop instruments slightly, then build gently with emotion]
We’re unscrambling the eggs, honey
Not for pride, or blame, or money
Just to say we tried and still had grace
When we left that table face to face
We wrote our story, spilled the ink
But we walked away with time to think
It’s not a meal that we could save
But we’re still unscrambling the eggs

[Verse 1]
I still pour two cups of coffee
You still hum that same old tune
But there’s something in the silence
That don’t dance around the room
We wear the same old sweaters
Still laugh, but not for long
We’re standing side by side, but
Something’s feelin’ wrong

[Chorus]
We don’t fit like we used to
Like worn-out shoes in the rain
Like two hands that once held tightly
Now just wave across the pain
But there’s grace in the partin’
Like a whisper, not a cry
We don’t fit like we used to…
But we still fit for goodbye

[Verse 2]
We tried patchin’ all the corners
Sewed up every tear with time
But love ain’t made of stitches
It unravels in the mind
There’s no villain in this story
No harsh words left to say
Just a quiet kind of mercy
That says “Let’s go our way”

[Chorus]
We don’t fit like we used to
Like a song that’s out of key
Like a door that still swings open
But won’t close comfortably
Still, there’s truth in the leavin’
When the holdin’ makes you lie
We don’t fit like we used to…
But we still fit for goodbye

[Bridge]
Sometimes love don’t fade, it bends
‘Til the thread becomes a line
We both held on past the ending
Now we’re lettin’ go in time

[Final Chorus]
We don’t fit like we used to
But that don’t mean we failed
We just danced until the rhythm
Of our hearts began to pale
So I’ll meet you in the stillness
Where the past won’t have to try
We don’t fit like we used to…
But we still fit for goodbye
