Well, I don’t know, why I said those things I said,
& I’m sorry I forgot that song I wrote for you
It’s been years since I saw you though,
You came & went, you’re like a ghost,
A faded memory, at most
But, I could lose myself in you,
Just like I use to, before you vanished like you do
I’d never choose, to get back with you,
‘Cause that situation doesn’t look, anything like it used to
I had that hoodie that you left,
With all the buttons, from the shows you couldn’t miss
I’m not sure what I did with it
It’s what you’re wearing in my head, when I picture you
It made my closet smell like you,
So I finally got rid of it
But, I could lose myself in you,
Just like I use to, before you vanished like you do
I’d never choose, to get back with you,
‘Cause that situation doesn’t look, anything like it used to
Well, I guess I should have known,
That you’d show up like this,
I’m supposed to act like you never left
I learned I’m better off alone,
But you scared me half to death,
Wondering where you’d been
But, I could lose myself in you,
Just like I use to, before you vanished like you do
I’d never choose, to get back with you,
‘Cause that situation doesn’t look, anything like it used to
