Don’t Wanna Write This Song Lyrics by Brett Young

Ticket to L.A.

2018

[Verse 1]
There's a dress in the closet, that I just can’t throw away
I know it might sound crazy, but I haven't changed your pillowcase
A heart half full, or half empty
Is half gone either way, with you gone
What went wrong?
[Chorus]
Maybe the hardest part
Is we didn't break this heart
Nobody cheated or lied
I still have to live with goodbye
But how can I just move on?
I’ve loved you for way too long
I don't want to admit that you're gone
I don't wanna write this song
Don't wanna write this song
[Verse 2]
Another glass of whiskey, by your picture in a frame
I'm playin' all the black keys and cryin' out your name
I’m holdin’ on, or lettin' go
It’s gonna kill me either way
With you gone
Oh
[Chorus]
Maybe the hardest part
Is we didn't break this heart
Nobody cheated or lied
I still have to live with goodbye
But how can I just move on?
I've loved you for way too long
I don't want to admit that you’re gone
I don't wanna write this song
Don't wanna write this song
[Bridge]
Bobby pins on the dresser
Wilted flowers in a vase
I left a rose on your headstone
I never quite know what to say
[Chorus]
Maybe the hardest part
Is we didn't break this heart
Nobody cheated or lied
I still have to live with goodbye
But how can I just move on?
I've loved you for way too long
I don't want to admit that you're gone
I don't wanna write this song
No, don't wanna write this song
I don't wanna write this song
Mmm, don't wanna write this song, whoa
