This is one I worked on for the last month trying to write something in the Luke Combs lane. Thanks for listening

Final – 3/26
⸻
Verse 1
I don’t reach for you like I used to
Leave my phone face down at night
Still catch myself driftin’ through habits
I know ain’t mine alone
Take your way around that stoplight
Didn’t even think twice
Heard your words come out my mouth
In a way that sounded right
⸻
Chorus
You didn’t take it all when you disappeared
Yeah, I’m still runnin’ on somethin’ you left here
It’s in the way I order what you used to drink
Take a turn I never used to think
Say things I swore I’d never say out loud
Ain’t you, ain’t me right now
Girl, you’re gone, it’s crystal clear
You didn’t take it all, you left it here
⸻
Verse 2
I still park a little further over
Like you hated door dings bad
Keep the radio on that station
Even when the song ain’t landin’
Catch myself slowin’ conversations
Draggin’ words like you would do
People say I seem more patient lately
Guess I kept more you than me
⸻
Chorus
You didn’t take it all when you disappeared
Yeah, I’m still runnin’ on somethin’ you left here
It’s in the way I order what you used to drink
Take a turn I never used to think
Say things I swore I’d never say out loud
Ain’t you, ain’t me right now
Girl, you’re gone, it’s crystal clear
You didn’t take it all, you left it here
⸻
Bridge
I thought time would square me up
Put me back where I began
Turns out I kept the pieces
That don’t fit who I am
⸻
Final Chorus
You didn’t take it all when you disappeared
Yeah, I’m still runnin’ on somethin’ you left here
It’s in the way I order what you used to drink
Take a turn I never used to think
Say things I swore I’d never say out loud
Ain’t you, ain’t me right now
Girl, you’re gone, it’s crystal clear
You didn’t take it all… you left me here
(soft background echo: kept more you than me)
⸻
Outro
Left it here… left me here…
Left it here… left me here…
(final, quiet) kept more you than me
