I Gave It All Back

Verse 1

Piano and voice

I folded your hoodie like a flag at a funeralPut your ring in the pocket, the key in the sleeveLeft it on your mom's porch with a note that said "good luck"In my nicest handwriting, like I didn't even care

Pre-Chorus

And everyone said"God, you handled that so well"Yeah, I handled it so wellI've got nothing left of you

Chorus

I gave it all backEvery sweater, every song you burned me on a discI was so grown up about itNow I'd kill for one thing I could missYou've got your stuff and your freedomAnd I've got the moral high groundAnd it's cold up here, it's so cold up hereI gave it all back

Verse 2

I deleted our pictures, I unfollowed your sisterI even gave your dog a kiss goodbye on the way outAnd now I'm lying on my floor at three in the morningTrying to remember what your jacket smelled like

Pre-Chorus

And everyone said"God, you handled that so well"Yeah, I handled it so wellI've got nothing left of you

Chorus

I gave it all backEvery sweater, every song you burned me on a discI was so grown up about itNow I'd kill for one thing I could missYou've got your stuff and your freedomAnd I've got the moral high groundAnd it's cold up here, it's so cold up hereI gave it all back

Bridge

Drums and strings rise, voice belting

Except the ticket stubFrom the movie that we walked out ofI found it in my walletAnd I didn't give it backI didn't give it backI'm never giving that back

Final Chorus

Soaring, then pulling back to piano

I gave it all backEvery sweater, every song you burned me on a discI was so grown up about itBut I kept the only thing I'd missYou've got your stuff and your freedomAnd I've got a paper stubAnd it's small, it's so smallBut it's enough

Outro

Piano alone, whispered

Row F, seat nineIt's mine
