Empty glass, full ashtray,
Her perfume still floats in the hallway.
That front door slammed like a shotgun shell,
And I’ve been stuck in this livin’ hell.
I said too much, she packed too fast—
Didn’t know my last “I love you” was my last…
Wish I could rewind, hold back pride—
But time don’t let a fool rewind…
You can un-pop a top, unsay a lie,
You can un-break a bottle, sober up the night.
You can un-light a smoke, un-dial her name,
But you can’t un-hurt a heart or stop the pain.
I’ve tried every line, every reason why…
But you can’t undo a goodbye.
Half-drunk prayers don’t change much,
All her photos still feel like a punch.
Radio plays that song she loves—
And it cuts me clean like the edge of her touch.
I swore I’d never beg or plead—
Now I’d fall on broken knees…
You can un-pop a top, unsay a lie,
You can un-break a bottle, sober up the night.
You can un-light a smoke, un-dial her name,
But you can’t un-hurt a heart or stop the pain.
I’ve tried every line, every reason why…
But you can’t undo a goodbye.
If I could find her on that porch tonight…
I’d trade the world just to make it right.
You can un-pop a top, unsay a lie,
You can un-break a bottle, sober up the night.
You can un-light a smoke, un-dial her name,
But you can’t un-hurt a heart or stop the pain.
I’ve tried every line, every reason why…
But you can’t… undo… a goodbye.
