Cold coffee sitting by the window

Cold coffee sitting by the window,
Been there since the morning light.
You stare right through me like a stranger,
Like we never stayed up all night.

I hear the silence in the hallway,
Every word we never said.
You keep pretending nothing’s broken,
While I’m losing sleep instead.

[PRE-CHORUS — Start building]

I keep reaching for a reason,
But there’s nothing left to hold.
If loving you means losing me,
Then I’m done being sold.

I can’t keep standing here,
Waiting for you to decide,
If I’m somebody you want to love—
Or somebody you keep on the side…

[ONE BEAT OF SILENCE]

[CHORUS — FULL BAND HITS]

I’m not your part-time love!
I wasn’t always the best, but I was always there.
When you needed someone beside you,
You knew I’d always care.

We spent every day together,
Until you found something new.
I gave you everything I had—
But I never loved you halfway through.

I’m not your part-time love!

⸻

[VERSE 2 — Pull back, but drums remain]

We used to wake up side by side,
Every day felt like it was ours.
Then something changed behind your eyes,
And I could feel it by the hour.

You started pulling further away,
While I was trying to hold on tight.
The person standing next to me
Didn’t feel like you that night.

I kept asking what went wrong,
You kept giving me the blame.
I was still fighting for the two of us,
While you were already walking away.

[PRE-CHORUS — Bigger than the first]

I kept reaching for a reason,
But there was nothing left to hold.
If loving you means losing me,
Then I’m done being sold.

I can’t keep standing here,
Waiting for you to decide,
If I’m somebody you want to love—
Or somebody you keep on the side…

[CHORUS — FULL BAND]

I’m not your part-time love!
I wasn’t always the best, but I was always there.
When you needed someone beside you,
You knew I’d always care.

We spent every day together,
Until you found something new.
I gave you everything I had—
But I never loved you halfway through.

I’m not your part-time love!

⸻

[BRIDGE — Everything drops out]

Clean guitar. Almost whispered.

You said you’d never be the one to lie,
Never leave me wondering why.
You said you’d never walk away,
Never become the one who made me pay.

But everything you said you’d never be
Is everything you’re showing me.

I wasn’t perfect…
But I was always there.

[PAUSE]

[BREAKDOWN — Slowly building]

So much time I gave you,
But you never felt the same.
All the time I gave away,
Just to watch it go to waste.

You said you’d always stay,
But that wasn’t the case.
Now you’re on your way…
You found somebody new.

Everything drops out.

I gave you everything I had…

[SILENCE]

[FULL BAND CRASH]

AND YOU STILL CHOSE TO WALK AWAY!

⸻

[FINAL CHORUS — BIGGEST SECTION OF THE SONG]

I’M NOT YOUR PART-TIME LOVE!
I wasn’t always the best, but I was always there!
When you needed someone beside you,
You knew I’d always care!

We spent every day together,
Until you found something new.
I gave you everything I had—
And somehow I still wasn’t enough for you.

I’m not your part-time love!
I’m not the one you keep around
When you’re lonely or you’re lost.
I gave you my heart completely,
Even knowing what it cost.

I wasn’t perfect—
But I was there.
I wasn’t perfect—
But I cared.

I’m not your part-time love!

⸻

[OUTRO — Everything falls away]

Drums stop. Bass fades. One clean guitar.

I wasn’t perfect…

But I was there.

Pause.

You just chose to walk away.

Guitar rings.

I’m not your part-time love…
