Lyrics

You left my jacket by the door
I kept your voicemail in my head
We stacked our days in a one-bed place
Then pulled the whole thing thread by thread
Your mug still lives in my sink
Like it pays rent here every month
I tell people I’m good enough
Then go quiet when they ask too much
I tried to close that chapter
But your face stayed on the wall
Every small thing we made together
Still answers when I call
We were a real thing
Now it’s just the afterthing
You took your side of the couch
And I kept the bruise of it
We were a real thing
Now it’s just a replay thing
I still catch you in the hall
When the place gets too still
Your blue scarf on my chair
Your coin by the stereo
I cleared the books off the shelf
Still, you don’t seem to go
My friends say move on quick
Like it’s nothing to unpack
But the hardest part of letting go
Is the way you keep coming back
I tried to close that chapter
But your face stayed on the wall
Every small thing we made together
Still answers when I call
We were a real thing
Now it’s just the afterthing
You took your side of the couch
And I kept the bruise of it
We were a real thing
Now it’s just a replay thing
I still catch you in the hall
When the place gets too still
If I run into you downtown
Would you act like I’m a blur?
Would you nod like we were never
The same old version of us?
I don’t hate what we were
I just hate how it slipped
Some endings don’t make a scene
They just leave the room bit by bit
We were a real thing
Now it’s just the afterthing
You took your side of the couch
And I kept the bruise of it
We were a real thing
Now it’s just a replay thing
I still catch you in the hall
When the place gets too still
We were a real thing
Now it’s just the afterthing
You took your side of the couch
And I kept the bruise of it
