lyrics

It’s just been a week since we said goodbye
And everything still feels so surreal
I can still feel your touch on my skin
Still hear your voice as I fall asleep

This wasn’t my choice, didn’t get a say, oh…
If it were for me, none of this would happen
It feels so inane to cause each other
So much pain, when all we want…

I walk through the house where we used to live
Turn the picture frames to face the wall
I swipe the dust from the cabinets,
Watch as it makes its way to the ground

Oh it falls, and it falls and I fall along with it
Find myself curled up on the floor
But who’ll pick me up and throw me out?
Who’ll pick me up and then throw me out?

Don’t you remember the way we used to feel?
Don’t you remember who we used to be?

Nothing seems to have changed, it’s all undisturbed:
The bed is unmade and the curtains closed
I recall lying here, warm in your arms
Whispering before falling asleep

Wasn’t it enough for you to hold on to?
Just tell me, where did I go wrong?
Without you here, I just feel so lost
No purpose, no goal, just an empty bed,
Just an empty bed

Don’t you remember the way we used to feel?
Don’t you remember who we used to be?
Don’t you remember the way we used to feel?
Don’t you remember who we used to be?
