Half a Tank of Heartache

[Verse 1]

Your picture's still turned backward

On the dresser by the door

Used to stop and stare there

Now I just step over clothes on the floor

I still park in the same spot

At that bar on 85

But I don't check every shadow

For you walking back inside

[Chorus]

I got a half a tank of heartache

But I'm further than I thought I'd be

Used to choke on your goodbye

Now it burns a little less to breathe

Yeah

The cracks are where the light slips in

I'm not all the way

But I'm leaving

I got a half a tank of heartache

And it's finally fading

[Verse 2]

Your sweater in the backseat

Rode around for a month or two

Like a ghost on the headrest

Guarding every mile from me to you

But yesterday at sunset

By that gravel dead-end road

I watched it catch a breeze and go

And I drove on alone

[Chorus]

I got a half a tank of heartache

But I'm further than I thought I'd be

Used to choke on your goodbye

Now it burns a little less to breathe

Yeah

The cracks are where the light slips in

I'm not all the way

But I'm leaving

I got a half a tank of heartache

And it's finally fading

[Bridge]

I still hear your name in strangers

Still taste your laugh in the rain

But it hits like weather passing

Not a hurricane

[Chorus]

I got a half a tank of heartache

But I'm rolling toward a brand-new town

Singing along to someone else's love song

Windows down

Seat laid back now (yeah)

And the cracks are where the light slips in

I'm not all the way

But I'm leaving

I got a half a tank of heartache

But I'm finally healing
