Late Check-Out Heart

[Verse 1]

Room key on the dresser

Half-packed bag on the floor

You said you just need pressure off

I heard you need something more

Coffee going cold on the counter

Your name traced in the steam

You walked out like it’s casual

I’m stuck rewinding every scene

[Chorus]

You checked out, but my heart’s still staying

Lights off, but my mind’s still playing

Every little word that you never said

Every little fight replayed in my head

You checked out, but my heart keeps waiting (oh)

Front desk closed and I’m there just pacing

If loving you’s a debt I can’t afford

I’m late check-out heart, still holding your door

[Verse 2]

Your hoodie on the chair by the window

Smells like rain and your perfume

I talk to it like you’re listening

Then laugh at myself in the room

Friends say “give it time, you’ll forget her”

I say “sure” then I stare at my phone

Typing out a whole confession

Backspace, lock screen, leave it alone

[Chorus]

You checked out, but my heart’s still staying

Lights off, but my mind’s still playing

Every little word that you never said

Every little fight replayed in my head

You checked out, but my heart keeps waiting (yeah)

Front desk closed and I’m there just pacing

If loving you’s a debt I can’t afford

I’m late check-out heart, still holding your door
