Lyrics

I still keep your spoon in the wrong side drawer
Your coffee mug by the busted door
I know I should hate you, that'd make this clean
But you were soft edges and that cuts deeper than mean
If you slammed one door, if you told one lie
If you left me mad, I could sleep at night
But you held my hand like you meant it
Then I'm stuck here wishing you were cruel back then
If you were mean, if you were cruel, you played me like a fool
If you laugh like it was nothing, I'd know how to take that hit
But you're good in every memory. That's what's killing me
I don't need another reason to move on
I just wish you'd give me one
I saw your hoodie on a stranger's back
The same frayed sleeves, same faded black
My chest went tight like a familiar ache
I needed a reason to let you go
If you wrecked my name, if you cut too deep
If you made me bleed, I could let it be
But you were gentle in the worst of ways
Now your goodbye still won't fade
If you were mean, if you were cruel
You played me like a fool
You laugh like it was nothing
I know how to take that hit
But you're good in every memory
That's what's killing me
I don't need another reason to move on
I just wish you'd give me one
Say you were careless, say you were cold
Say you never loved me, let my heart let go
I keep making villains out of empty air
But your soft voice is still right there
If you were mean, if you were cruel
If you played me like a fool
If you left like it was nothing
I'd know how to take that hit
But you're good in every memory
That's what's killing me
I don't need another reason to move on
I just wish you'd give me one
