Heart I Thought Was Gone

Turns out it was still in there, just waiting on a reason.

Verse 1

I left your picture on the dresser
said I was done feeling this way
Told my friends I'd never miss you
swore that I was okay

Verse 2

But mornings hit a little harder
Coffee cups shaking in my hand
Every laugh felt a bit emptier
Than I ever planned

Chorus

I thought my heart was gone, gone, gone
Packed it up when you moved on
Told myself the hurt would fade in time
And you showed up at my door
Same blue eyes I fell for
Every broken piece fell back in line
You were the part I thought wasn't gone
The heart I thought was gone

Verse 3

You said you'd only stay a minute
Just to grab the things you left
Then you noticed in the kitchen
How I kept your favorite mug on the shelf

Verse 4

We both laughed and then went quiet
All that distance in the room
Till you whispered I still
Still love you, and everything bloomed

Chorus

I thought my heart was gone, gone, gone
Packed it up when you moved on
Told myself the hurt would fade in time
And you showed up at my door
Same blue eyes I fell for
Every broken piece fell back in line
You were the part I thought wasn't gone
The heart I thought was gone

Bridge

Now we're dancing in the hallway
socks sliding on the floor
Saying things we should have said
A thousand times before

Chorus

I thought my heart was gone, gone, gone
But it was beating all along
Waiting on the day you'd change your mind
And now you're laughing in my arms
Safe and steady, soft and warm
Every broken piece is doing fine
You were the part I thought was gone
The heart I thought was gone

Raw note map (experimental)

This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
