Verse
Cardboard boxes on the floor
Ghostly outlines by the door
You took the lamp, you took the rug
The hollow space where we once dug
The silence hits a heavy note
A lump of salt inside my throat
Chorus
You’re taking half the life we made
Leaving me in the cooling shade
Fifty percent of the floor is bare
And half of my heart isn't there
Yeah, half of my heart isn't there
Verse
The bookshelf looks so strange and thin
Where your collection used to spin
I’m staring at the empty patch
A broken seal, a broken latch
The apartment feels too wide and deep
A promise that we couldn't keep
Chorus
You’re taking half the life we made
Leaving me in the cooling shade
Fifty percent of the floor is bare
And half of my heart isn't there
Yeah, half of my heart isn't there
Bridge
Split the sofa, split the bed
Split the things we never said
Divide the light, divide the gloom
Divide the air inside this room
It’s not a clean break, it’s a jagged edge
Falling off the window ledge
Chorus
You’re taking half the life we made
Leaving me in the cooling shade
Fifty percent of the floor is bare
And half of my heart isn't there
Yeah, half of my heart isn't there
