  • There's a dress in the closet, that I just can't throw away
    I know it might sound crazy, but I haven't changed your pillowcase
    A heart half full, or half empty
    Is half gone either way, with you gone
    What went wrong?

    Maybe the hardest part
    Is we didn't break this heart
    Nobody cheated or lied
    I still have to live with goodbye
    But how can I just move on?
    I've loved you for way too long
    I don't want to admit that you're gone
    I don't wanna write this song
    Don't wanna write this song

    Another glass of whiskey, by your picture in a frame
    I'm playin' all the black keys and cryin' out your name
    I'm holdin' on, or lettin' go
    It's gonna kill me either way
    With you gone
    Oh

    Maybe the hardest part
    Is we didn't break this heart
    Nobody cheated or lied
    I still have to live with goodbye
    But how can I just move on?
    I've loved you for way too long
    I don't want to admit that you're gone
    I don't wanna write this song
    Don't wanna write this song

    Bobby pins on the dresser
    Wilted flowers in a vase
    I left a rose on your headstone
    I never quite know what to say

    Oh maybe the hardest part
    Is we didn't break this heart
    Nobody cheated or lied
    I still have to live with goodbye
    But how can I just move on?
    I've loved you for way too long
    Don't want to admit that you're gone
    I don't wanna write this song
    No, don't wanna write this song
    I don't wanna write this song
    Mmm, don't wanna write this song, whoa Writer/s: Andrew M Dorff, Jon McElroy, Rodney Dale Clawson
