You should've stopped me

I was standing in the hallway looking for my keys
Waiting for a don't go, begging on my knees
But only in my head

You were staring at the TV, shadows on your face
Like I was just a ghost taking up your space
I said I'm leaving for good and I meant it to sting
But you didn't flinch, you didn't say a thing

I was testing the ice waiting for it to break
Counting every second all this hard heavy
I was halfway out the door lingering in the hall
Just a desperate shadow waiting for your call

You should have stopped me
You should have grabbed my arm
You should have told me believing would do was harm

I wanted a reason, but put my suitcase down
Instead, you let me walk across this lonely town
Stay with me, what if it's the broken glass?
But you just watched the moment pass

Yeah, you should have stopped me
Now I'm sitting in the motel drinking cold tea
Wondering if you're even thinking about me

Did you change the locks? Did you sleep on my side?
Or are you finally enjoying the quiet and the cried?
I play a dangerous game, I'll give you that
But I didn't think you'd let it fall so flat

Is this what you wanted? A house without a sound
A victory for silence
While I'm nowhere to be found
I was screaming for rescue, I was signaling for help
But you're the kind of fire that only burns itself

You should have stopped me, you should have my own
You should have told me that leaving was wrong

I wanted a reason to put my suitcase down
Instead, you let me walk across this lonely town
Stay with me, want to fix the broken glass
But you'll just watch the moment pass

Yeah, you should stop, you should stop
I was waiting, I was right there, I was waiting
I was right there

But the engine started and the road is long
And now I'm just another forgotten song
You let me go, why did you let me go?

You should have stopped me
