How Dare U???

(Female)

You left your coffee

On the counter by the door

Your jacket on the chair

Like you’d be back for more

We were laughing at that movie

Then the credits came too soon

Now I’m talking to the shadows

On your side of the room

(Female)

How dare you leave me

How dare you expect me to move on

One minute you were right here

Talking, joking, then you’re gone

How dare you start the next chapter

Close our book like it meant nothing to you

How dare you leave me

When I was still choosing you

(Male)

I see your number

Still pinned up in my truck

You in that old ball cap

Grinning, calling it luck

I was scared of getting older

You were ready to settle down

Now your mama says you’re “doing fine”

On the good side of town

(Male)

How dare you leave me

How dare you expect me to move on

One minute we were planning

Friday nights and front porch songs

How dare you start the next chapter

Like our whole story was just something you outgrew

How dare you leave me

When I was still holding you

(Both)

Did you pack up all the “somedays”

When you boxed up your blue jeans

Did you rewrite all our heartache

Till I’m barely in the scenes

(Female)

‘Cause I’m stuck on the same page

(Male)

And you’re skipping to the end

(Both)

I lost my heart and a future

You just lost a friend

(Both)

How dare you leave me

How dare you expect me to move on

One minute we were right there

Talking, joking, then you’re gone

How dare you start the next chapter

Like the last one never cut you in two

How dare you leave me

When every line still leads to you

(Female)

You turned the page

(Male)

I’m torn in two

(Both)

How dare you leave me

When I was still choosing you
