[Verse 1]
You said you'd call back
Left your jacket on my chair
Lipstick stain on my wine glass
Your cologne in my hair
You swore you're not like them
Eyes wet, but your hands cold
Promised you'd stay ‘til the end
Watched you walk out the door slow
[Chorus]
Where they go, when they go
Do they run from what they know?
Do they hide inside a stranger
Just to dodge the weight of hope?
Where they go, when they go
Do they choke on every "almost"?
You were here, then you were ghost
Where they go
Where they go
[Verse 2]
Half your clothes in my closet
Half your truth on my floor
You always left one excuse
Hanging right by the door
I replay every late text
Every silence, every lie
You said "it's me, I’m a mess"
But you left me here to cry (yeah)
[Chorus]
Where they go, when they go
Do they run from what they know?
Do they hide inside a stranger
Just to dodge the weight of hope?
Where they go, when they go
Do they choke on every "almost"?
You were here, then you were ghost
Where they go
Where they go
[Bridge]
I keep your name under my tongue
Burns my mouth, but I hold on
If you feel nothing, say it's so
Don’t just fade into the phone (into the phone)
[Chorus]
Where they go, when they go
Do they run from what they know?
Do they hide inside a stranger
Just to dodge the weight of hope?
Where they go, when they go
Do they choke on every "almost"?
You were here, then you were ghost
Where they go
Where they go (where they go)
