[stanza 1]
I wait at the café
my hands are folded
and you stare like I
must have something to say

but don’t you know I’m done
…was all this time
from being the other one

[chorus]
You can’t love half here
while your wife’s looking out
the door
we’ve been doing this the wrong way
you gotta get back home

[stanza 2]
I quietly strum my guitar
gazing out the window afar
a couple walk by the car
hand in hand like childhood sweethearts

maybe they could be you…
and her when yall were younger
Shouldn’t I have been just a stranger…?

[chorus]
You can’t love half here
while I’m looking down at
the floor
we’ve been all along the wrong way
I gotta go where I’m the only one

[bridge]
Now I’m tearing up these curtains
recovering the right side of me
letting in the sunlight
to bring you back to reality

You can’t love half here
while your daughter’s looking out
the door
we’ve been doing this the wrong way
you gotta give her back her home
