Perfume

The smell of her perfume still lingers in my bedroom And it stimulates my senses makes me weak Now I lie here awake in the rubble, in the wake Picking up the pieces, I tremble and I shake You're deaf to the sound of the words that leave my mouth It's hard when it all feels so personal Setting myself up to be torn down I like to pretend it doesn't hurt at all Trying to forget it all right now And I still have those sketches that you scribbled in my notebook I'll take one last look before I turn the page Now I lie here awake in the rubble in the wake A new page leads to new mistakes Those memories I'll never quite erase It's hard when it all feels so personal Setting myself up to be torn down I like to pretend it doesn't hurt at all Trying to forget it all right now Work out my frustration on the walk to union station Thinking how I wish I never learned your name Now I lie here awake in the rubble in the wake I did my best to plead my case And we could try but it's just not the same It's hard when it all feels so personal Setting myself up to be torn down I like to pretend it doesn't hurt at all Trying to forget it all right now It's hard when it all feels so personal Setting myself up to be torn down I like to pretend it doesn't hurt at all Trying to forget it all right now
