Thousand Times Again

I counted the scratches

On your old front door

Same little warning

I ignored before

Your shoes by the mat

Your coat on the chair

I knew you were gone

But I still stayed there

And I heard you say

Don't come undone

But I held on hard

To what we'd become

A thousand times

I let you go

A thousand times

You stole the show

If love was a fire

I burned that slow

A thousand times

A thousand times

The clock in the hall

Ticked like a dare

Rain on the window

Cold in the air

I made my peace

Then I lied again

Called it moving on

With a borrowed grin

And I heard you say

Don't come undone

But I held on hard

To what we'd become

A thousand times

I let you go

A thousand times

You stole the show

If love was a fire

I burned that slow

A thousand times

A thousand times

Let the room fall quiet

Let the ache get loud

I was built to break

Then build back somehow

You were the scar

I wore like gold

Now I sing your name

Till it loses hold

A thousand times

I let you go

A thousand times

You stole the show

If love was a fire

I burned that slow

A thousand times

A thousand times

A thousand times

I let you go

A thousand times

And still you know

If love was a fire

We lit that glow

A thousand times

A thousand times
